Rogers, C. W., Firth, E. C., Mcilwraith, C. W., Barneveld, A., Goodship, A. E., Kawcak, C. E., …Van Weeren, P. R. Evaluation of a new strategy to modulate skeletal development in racehorses by imposing track-based exercise during growth: The effects on 2-and 3-year-old racing careers. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(2), 119-127. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x266088
Reasons for performing study: No data exist on the effects of conditioning exercise at foal age on workload and subsequent clinical injury rate during their 2- and 3-year-old racing careers.
