EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY
Conditioning of the athletic horse
The conditioning of the athletic horse takes place through physiological changes. During training, the body adapts to the loads applied to his various skeletal, muscular and cardiovascular systems.
How do these different systems adapt? What is the purpose of their conditioning?
Conditioning vs training: what are the differences in horses?
Conditioning and training are terms that could be confused. Although both terms lead to an improvement in the horse’s abilities, they do not have the same effects on the horse. This article explains the principle of conditioning and its effects, as well as those of training.
The acid-base balance during exercise
During exercise, the acid-base balance of the horse’s body is perturbed. By using more oxygen and energy, his metabolism produces waste products that acidify his body. The body then naturally regulates its pH level in order to maintain this acid-base balance. How does the horse’s acid-base balance work during exercise?
Exercises of varying intensity: what effect on the horse?
During exercise of varying intensities, the different systems of the horse’s body adapt their functioning. In this article we will look at these changes through the respiratory, cardiovascular and muscular systems.
Racehorse’s three main physiological systems: roles and functions
The horse’s body has three key systems to ensure its proper functioning: the respiratory, cardiovascular and muscular systems.
How do these metabolisms work? What roles do they play in the horse’s body?
What is the influence of training on a racehorse’s cardiovascular system?
The horse’s cardiovascular system allows good blood circulation and ensures oxygen transport. How does the horse improve it?

When and how to detect your young horses’ locomotor profile?
Knowing your young horses’ locomotor profile is the first step to detect the future champions… What is their natural acceleration strategy?
Young racehorses’ recovery
Young horses do not have the same recovery patterns as older horses, even for equal intensity training or between two horses with equivalent fitness. Indeed, young horses have a less efficient heart and must adapt their muscular and neurological systems to the training conditions. They need time to adapt before they can recover properly. The evaluation of recovery in young horses is therefore done differently. How do recovery data differ between young horses and adult horses? How do you assess it?
