“…Regardless of the scale of the effort and the type of exercise, in post-exercise studies an increase may be observed in the number of red blood cells, which is closely related to the increase in HGB and HCT (PICCIONE et al, 2008). A larger quantity of RBC is normal for horses that are trained properly (KUPCZYŃSKI and ŚPITALNIAK, 2015). In our study, a greater increase in RBC was found in group B after exercise.…”

“…Lactate concentration in the blood is a marker of anaerobic and aerobic thresholds during exercise in horses (ADAMU et al, 2014). The limit of anaerobic and aerobic thresholds amounting to 4 mmol/L (LINDNER et al, 2009) during exercise may have lower values for specific sports (KUPCZYŃSKI and ŚPITALNIAK, 2015). In both groups the LA concentration showed an increase after training, while in Group B, where additional physical stimulation was present, LA was lower than the resting values at the end of the sporting season.…”

“…Along with the degree of training, it should be followed by the intensification of exercise that causes the physiological changes needed to achieve optimal performance (ASSENZA et al, 2015). The methods which allow evaluation of the horse's progress in training involve, amongst other things, analysis of physiological indices, such as cardiac stress tests, as well as examination of hematological and biochemical parameters (PICCIONE et al, 2007;SOARES et al, 2011;FAZIO et al, 2014;KUPCZYŃSKI and ŚPITALNIAK, 2015). These reflect the metabolic and functional processes involved in adaptation to a particular discipline (PICCIONE et al, 2007;SOARES et al, 2011).…”

The aim of the study was to assess the changes in the hematology and blood chemistry of jumping horses under the different workload trainings. Group A was trained with a rider and without additional exercises. Group B had an additional daily training session on the treadmill. Blood samples were taken at rest, before exercise and 24 hours after the jumping competition (at the beginning of the season, in the middle and at the end). Regardless of the type of training intensity level and workout load, the post-exercise studies showed an increase in RBC, HGB and HCT. In Group B, there was increase (P<0.05) of resting parameters RBC and HGB between the start of the season and in the middle. During the study there was an increase in AST, LDH, CK in both groups after training. Horses from Group B, subjected to additional training at the end of the season, had lower activity in the resting parameters of AST, LDH and CK than horses from group A. In group B the resting value of LA was lower in the middle and at the end of the sports season, in comparison to group A. The research indicated the desirability of introducing additional stimulation of movement in horses between the relevant trainings involving a rider.

“…The increase in the outlet of glucose after exercise is caused by the decrease in the insulin/glucagon ratio. High-performing horses are more capable of utilizing glucose than poor-performing ones [30]. The increase in glucose may be correlated with hyperactivity of the sympathetic system and activation of hepatic glycogenolysis [16].…”

The exercise-induced variations of some biochemical parameters including calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), glucose, urea, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and creatine kinase (CK) were assessed in the serum of 25 Arabian horses. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein 3 different times: before exercise, 5 h after exercise, and 18 h after exercise. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS (version 9.2; SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). Ca, Cl, glucose, and urea showed significant (P < 0.05) changes due to exercise. There was significant increase from before exercise to 5 h after exercise in urea concentrations while Ca and Cl concentrations significantly decreased. A significant ascending trend for Ca between 5 h and 18 h after exercise was also seen, while glucose and urea had a significantly descending trend. No significant time-based variations were observed for other variables. The results of the present study indicated that exercise could affect the value of some biochemical parameters, which could be used in future studies evaluating the health status of Arabian horses.

“…Factors other than training that influence horse driving scores Some studies consider the welfare and reactions to different stimuli in driving horses (Dziezyc et al 2011, Jahnke 1994, Kupczyński and Śpitalniak 2015. To the authors' knowledge, there is no study analyzing basic factors that influence sport results in the horse driving discipline.…”

The aim of the study was to analyze which factors other than training, influence horse scores in single class driving events. The data concerned 40 events at 3* level, held in 10 European countries over the course of three years. Of 824 turnouts at these events, a total of 729 entries with all three competitions (Dressage, Marathon, Cones) completed were considered in the main analysis. The following scores and ranks were used: numbers of penalties in the three competitions, total number of penalties, final classification and classification index, which related the placings to the number of completed turnouts at an event. The following factors were considered: the horse sex, age and coat color as well as the country of athlete origin and the location of the events. The data were analyzed with ANOVA GLM and the significant differences between means were determined using Tukey's test. The analysis revealed that most penalties are received in the Marathon competition, with fewer in Dressage and fewest in Cones. The scores and ranks are significantly influenced by the horses' age: the oldest horses (17-21 years old) and 10-11 year-olds perform best and the youngest horses (6-7 years old) perform worst. This can be associated not only with the horses' physical development but also experience and skills. Horse sex usually does not significantly affect the scores and ranks. A connection between coat color and the performance should be confirmed in future studies. Athletes from Middle Europe achieve better results than those coming from other parts of Europe, in addition to those from outside Europe, the latter of which tending to fare poorly. The variability in the mean scores within Marathon and Cones competitions indicates differences in the course difficulty depending on the location in which the events are run. Breeders, trainers and athletes, when considering the driving scores and ranks in terms of estimation of a horse, should also take into account the horse age and the fact that difficulty of course design at different events may vary substantially.
