Heart murmur and performance: are they compatible?
The cardiovascular system can be compared to a huge orchestra, and the presence of any structural defect can alter the functioning of the system and throw the orchestra out of harmony. A heart murmur is added to the initially audible heartbeat and becomes a false note in the orchestra, requiring the trainer to intervene on several levels.

EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY
Exertional rhabdomyolysis in horses
Exertional rhabdomyolysis in horses, also known as tying-up, Monday disease or myositis, is defined as a painful muscle disease induced by exercise.
Muscular physiology in the athletic horse
Muscular physiology in the horse athlete is an important factor to study when interested in his training. Indeed, the muscles participate in various functions essential to the horse’s life (breathing, digestion…) and to its adaptation to the surrounding environment. The muscles are part of the different components that contribute to the performance of the horse athlete as they fulfill locomotion purposes: a horse that is ideally muscled will have a better chance of winning a race.
4 questions to analyze your racehorses’ fitness
With four questions frequently asked by trainers, this article presents the essential parameters to collect in order to evaluate your horses’ fitness easily.
4 reasons to analyze VO2Max in racehorse training
VO2Max is a key paramater to measure the intensity of a horse’s effort. It can be used to establish a race strategy, calculate the intensity of a training or to follow a racehorse’s performances over time.

Breaks in racehorses: how to proceed?
The break in a racehorse is a period of rest. With performance being the key to success, the importance of a proper break for horses may arise. In this article, we will explore in detail the concept of the ‘break’ in racehorses and explain why it is a crucial element in maximising their performance.
Muscle memory in the athletic horse
During training, the horse engages what is known as his muscle memory, so that his muscles are able to carry out the effort almost automatically. However, the source of this memory is not in the muscle, but in the brain.
Locomotion data: what’s in it for the day-to-day work?
Locomotion data helps us to understand how a horse moves around the track, providing valuable information about its physical ability, fitness and potential. Every horse has its own stride, and the way in which its canter is constructed varies little throughout its life. By looking at the parameters of cadence and amplitude at a fixed speed, we can obtain indications of a horse’s theoretical preferred distance.
Weather conditions: how do they affect the performance of racehorses?
Weather conditions play a significant role in the performance of racehorses. Whether it’s temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation or atmospheric pressure, each factor can influence a horse’s performance on the track.
EQUINE HEALTH & SCIENCE
The athletic horse’s medical follow-up: which benefits?
Bringing a horse to its maximum potential, while respecting its physical integrity, is a long road. In this article, you will discover why it is perhaps interesting to set up a medical-sportive follow-up, as well as recommendations to optimize its implementation.
