Injuries in Dressage Horses

Injuries in Dressage Horses

Article Highlights Iberian horses had a superior outcome compared with Warmblood horses, which may be of biological significance. There was a high proportion of persistent or recurrent injuries. More horses that presented initially for routine evaluation had a good outcome compared with horses with a history of lameness or reduced performance. Despite the persistence of lameness over serial examinations, many horses were able to increase their level of training and competition. Regular orthopaedic monitoring and targeted treatment may help dressage horses meet their athletic potential. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
