“…For load index 1, the maximum load without undue effort while working at a trot and gallop, the average weight was 117.79±4.63 kg. Both indices had lower mean values compared with those found by Schade et al (2015) in horses from a mounted police squadron (210.51±13.97 and 124.09±8.23 kg, respectively).…”

“…This greater power is a desired trait in these horses. This feature was also found in Campeiro horses (McManus et al, 2005), in Brazilian Sport Horses and Thoroughbreds (Rezende et al, 2014), in horses from a mounted police squadron (Schade et al, 2015), and in Quarter Horses (Mariz et al, 2015). Lucena et al (2015) stated that the good performance of Marchador horses is influenced by the relation between withers height and croup height.…”

-This study aimed to evaluate, in a practical manner, the use of linear and angular measurements and different animal-performance indices in a study on the breed-specific conformation of Brazilian Sport Horses training for eventing. These data can form the basis for the development of future studies based on the parameters evaluated and the calculations made. Seventeen Brazilian Sport Horses training for eventing were selected. Morphometric evaluations were made of all animals using linear and angular measurements. The linear measurements were withers, croup, and barrel heights; body, croup, shoulder, neck, and head lengths; head, chest, and hip widths; distance from the elbow to the ground and from the sternum to the ground (empty substernal); and thorax, forearm, knee, fetlock, and fore cannon girths. The angular measurements were shoulder-ground, shoulder-humerus, humerus-radius, metacarpus-phalanx, coxae-ground, coxae-femur, femur-tibia, and tibiametatarsus angles. Thirteen animal-performance indices were calculated to have a better understanding of the conformation of the animals and their proportions: the relationship between the withers and croup heights, chest index, dactyl-thoracic index, estimated weight, body index, thoracic index, conformation index, load index 1, load index 2, relative body index, compactness index 1, compactness index 2, and meloscopic index. Brazilian Sport Horses in eventing training were within the expected conformation for an athletic horse, but the animal-performance indices differed among them because they are heterogeneous horses resulting from crossing among various different breeds. The use of linear and angular measurements allows the correct characterization of racial forms of Brazilian Sport Horses undergoing training for eventing. Animal-performance indices can be useful in a study of a breed-specific conformation of athletic horses.

Existen varias metodologías para determinar la condición corporal del caballo deportivo, siendo unas más objetivas que otras; sin embargo, la escala de condición corporal es la más usada para estimar las reservas corporales de animales en actividad atlética. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar, por métodos no invasivos, el espesor de grasa subcutánea y desarrollo muscular de caballos deportivos, de una academia de Cundinamarca y calcular algunos índices que definen la composición corporal. Se escogieron 29 caballos adultos (9 hembras, 20 machos), de cuatro tipos raciales; caballo deporte colombiano, criollo, polo argentino, Pura sangre inglés. Para evaluar la grasa subcutánea se usó el puntaje de condición corporal (PCC) escala Henneke, el ultrasonido en tiempo real UTR, midiendo espesor de grasa dorsal y de cadera. La musculatura se determinó usando UTR a nivel dorsal, midiendo el ojo del lomo y el glúteo medio. Se tomaron pesos y medidas morfométricas: altura de cruz, longitud corporal, perímetro torácico. Con estas medidas corporales o ecográficas se calcularon índices de desempeño o composición corporal: índice corporal (IC), índice de carga al paso-1 y al trote-2 (IC1 y IC2), % de grasa corporal (%GC), Índice de masa corporal (IMC), relación perímetro torácico–altura cruz (PT:AC), índice muscular (IM) e índice musculoesquelético (IME). Los índices de carga y de composición corporal indicaron diferencias entre tipos raciales (p<0,05). Entre índices de engrasamiento se presentaron correlaciones altas con PCC (EGD 0,78 y IMC 0,99). Algunos índices (IC1, IC2) serían indicadores indirectos de la relación fin-bienestar en los animales.
