“…Automatic assumption of the applicability of methodology used in human or other animal studies during HRV quantification in horses may provide an explanation for the low comparability between studies. In HRV studies it is often not reported in the methodology if a correction factor (CF) was used during data analysis and if reported no reason for the specific choice is indicated [33][34][35][36].…”

“…a certain degree of dorsoventral hyperfl exion of the neck is induced for greater showiness and elegance in CCH). This behavior has been associated with significant increase of stress-related cortisol in other breeds (McGreevy et al, 2010;Christensen et al, 2014;Smiet et al, 2014). Although this phenomenon has not been evaluated in the Colombian horse, it might occur in a similar way.…”

Concentración del cortisol sérico en el caballo criollo colombiano Concentração de cortisol sérico no cavalo crioulo colombianoAbstract Background: Cortisol is indicative of adaptation to physiological factors, disease and environmental stress in equines. Cortisol recently gained attention for its prognostic value in critical disease and as an indicator of fi tness and athletic performance. Objective: To determine baseline serum cortisol (SC) morning concentrations in the Colombian creole horse (CCH). Methods: Blood serum was taken from 62 CCH of both genders with and average age of 8.8 years (± 5.3), which were clinically healthy and had diff erent performance levels. Results: The overall SC average determined by sandwich ELISA was 13.3 ± 7.4 mg/dL. No signifi cant diff erences were attributed to gender, age, or performance. Conclusion: This concentration can be used as a reference value for CCH maintained in low physical activity.

RESUMONa ciência, o estado de bem-estar de um animal é muitas vezes relacionado com o resultado dos efeitos das ações dos seres humanos, sendo esta voltada para o conhecimento das necessidades dos mesmos. Assim sendo, o animal que conseguir satisfazer suas necessidades biológicas terá maior grau de bem-estar e, de forma contrária, quando não atendidas, respostas fisiológicas e comportamentais são desencadeadas na tentativa de adaptação, mantendo sua homeostasia. Quando o equilíbrio não se estabelece, um estado permanente de estresse se mantém. Neste contexto, a avaliação do bem-estar nos equinos usados no hipismo, é importante, uma vez que esses são submetidos a ambientes e condições de manejo que não atendem na maior parte do tempo as necessidades da espécie. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, evidenciar as necessidades e os principais desafios relacionados ao bem-estar dos cavalos de hipismo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Adaptação. Comportamento. Equinos. Estereotipias. Manejo. Saúde. GOOD PRACTICES AND WELFARE OF SPORT HORSES: OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENTSABSTRACT In science, animal's welfare condition is often related to the result of the human actions towards them, and it is focused on the understanding of their needs. Therefore, the animal that is able to satisfy its biological needs will have higher welfare level. Therefore, if it is not, there is a lack of satisfaction, triggering a permanent condition of stress. Physiological and behavioral responses will occur in the attempt of animal's body to adapt to that environment, maintaining its homeostasis. In this context, since the athlete equines are often kept in environments and submitted to management conditions that do not meet their needs, welfare evaluation is a major issue. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand equines needs, to identify key issues and alternative solutions related to the well-being of sport horses.
