Psychology and welfare of racehorses: the impact of stress on performance
It is now a few years since the question of the equine welfare, which can be defined, according to the IFCE (The French Horse and Riding Institute), as “the good mental and physical health of the animal”, is developing and taking more and more importance into the mentalities. Some studies have been carried out and initiatives have been taken with the objective to sensibilize about the subject. The IFCE has notably led a survey in favor of animal welfare, relating different subjects as the evolution of the practices in favor of the
Lexington trainer: Kara Lin Toye’s Equimetre experience.

8 reasons to use a heart rate monitor
Here are the 8 reasons why the heart rate monitor
Monitoring the impact of a race on racehorse
Monitoring the impact of a race on a racehorse is core in order to prepare him to the next races in the best conditions possible.
How do racehorses create energy?
In order to better analyse heart rate, recovery and establish an objective diagnosis of your horses’ fitness, it may be useful to investigate the physiological mechanisms involved when the horse athlete is training.
How to improve the racehorse’s recovery?
Recovery is one of the main indicators of a horse’s fitness condition: the better a horse’s recovery.
Racehorse cardio: how to analyse your training data?
A precise knowledge of the evolution of your horse’s heart rate during exercise enables you to optimise its performance and to be alerted to possible sub-clinical pathologies. It also allows you to adapt the exercises as well as possible, in order to improve its cardio and physical performance.
The Racehorse’s heart rate: a brief introduction
Measuring the racehorse’s heart rate provides information on the fitness level and fitness training…

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.
