Preface
We believe that a good understanding of the physiol-
ogy of exercise is important for anyone involved in the
care, handling, training, feeding, breeding, or use of
horses. The care of horses, and athletic horses in par-
ticular, requires an understanding of the physiological
demands of exercise, which then provides a better
grasp of the requirements of competition and training.
The science of equine exercise physiology has pro-
gressed to the stage that it now provides a sound, sci-
entifi c basis for much of the nutrition, training, and
care of equine athletes. The current level of knowl-
edge, while still incomplete and imperfect, of the phys-
iological processes underlying the acute responses to
exercise and the mechanisms and effects of exercise
conditioning, provides a sound, fundamental under-
standing of the workings of the equine athlete. Con-
temporary equine exercise physiology comprises not
only the physiological responses to exercise and train-
ing, but also nutrition, biomechanics, behavior, and
pharmacology. This fundamental knowledge informs
our decisions regarding appropriate training, nutri-
tion, care, and treatment of the equine athlete.
The fi rst edition of
Equine Exercise Physiology
is a
response to requests by many readers of
Equine Sports
Medicine and Surgery: basic and clinical sciences of the
equine athlete
that we provide a text focused on equine
exercise physiology. This text is intended for anyone
involved with athletic horses, and in particular those
individuals who are not responsible for providing the
primary veterinary care of such horses. While the text
presupposes a good knowledge of physiology, we think
that it is written at a level that will allow most informed
individuals to gain much valuable information.
We thank the colleagues and students with whom
we have had the pleasure of working and who pro-
vided much of the knowledge contained within this
book. Our profound gratitude is extended to the
authors of sections of this book with an appreciation
of the effort that was required to compile anew com-
prehensive material on their designated topic. We
hope that they, and the readers, are pleased with the
fi nal product.
