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.
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.
