“…No studies on aerobic metabolism were found in dressage, show jumping, or eventing horses. One study regarding six Mangalarga Marchador horses showed no effect of a 10 min walking warm-up on parameters of aerobic metabolism (HR, breathing frequency, and blood lactate), measured directly after a 50 min Marcha test, a predominantly aerobic and physiologically stressful exercise of moderate intensity (12 km/h) [ 40 ]. However, HR recovered faster after exercise when a prior warm-up had been performed.…”

“…Two studies focused on the effects of warm-up on thermoregulation in sport horses competing in Olympic disciplines [ 41 , 42 ] and one study on Mangalarga Marchador horses [ 40 ]. Buchner et al [ 41 ] showed no effect for a 10 min whole-body vibration warm-up or two exercising warm-up regimens (10 min walk, or 8 min walk, and 1 min trot, respectively) on core temperatures in 10 horses.…”

“…While it improves short-duration (<10 s) dynamic force [ 61 ], passive warm-up does not seem to improve isometric force in humans [ 62 ] and might even be detrimental to long-term performance (>5 min) [ 63 , 64 ]. Of the 23 studies included in the present review, only one investigated the effect of passive warm-up in horses [ 40 ]. Questionnaires among riders and trainers of racing and sport horses do not identify passive warm-up as a common feature within the preparation of horses for exercise or competition [ 46 , 49 ].…”

Warm-up is a standard component of exercise preparation, intended to lower the risk of injury and improve performance. Comprehensive evidence-based guidelines per discipline are missing. This scoping review aimed to describe the physiological effects and strategies of active warm-up in horses according to different equestrian disciplines. The search strategies identified 479 papers for review. After application of selection criteria, 23 articles published from 1996 to January 2024 were included of which 12 discussed the effects of warm-up on physiological parameters and 11 discussed warm-up strategies in different disciplines. As shown in humans, warm-up enhanced aerobic capacity and increased blood and muscle temperatures, independently from its intensity. Riders emphasized the importance of warm-up to prepare horses for physical work and to increase their reactiveness to aids. A canter or trot was the preferred gait in elite or non-elite dressage horses, respectively, while the walk was in show jumping horses. Warm-up duration and intensity increased with increasing competitive level, but a longer and/or more intensive warm-up did not affect the final score. Dressage riders warmed up their horses for a longer time compared to show jumping riders. Future studies should objectively establish the most profitable warm-up strategies per equestrian discipline and level.

The Initial Horse’s Postural Response to the First Session of the Dorsal, Ventral, and Dorso–Ventral Massage Techniques

Since interest in equine manual therapy and rehabilitation is constantly growing, the need for quantification of the horse’s postural response to used alternative therapy has increased. This study implemented geometric morphometrics (GM) for a dorsal profile comparison between the horse groups. The dorsal profile was represented by the centroid size and the centroid shape. The horse groups were defined using four classifiers: horse’s age, height at the withers, time lap in the massage session, and technique of the massage (dorsal, ventral, and dorso–ventral). Out of a total of 900 photographs of 20 horses, 180 photos were analyzed using GM, including thirty landmarks. Variation of the principal components (PCs) representing consecutive dorsal profiles were reported for the first three PSs as 59.50% for PC1, 14.36% for PC2, and 9.01% for PC3. The dorsal profiles differed depending on the classifier ‘height’ in terms of centroid size (p < 0.0001) as well as classifier ‘time’ (p < 0.0001) and classifier ‘technique’ (p < 0.0001) in terms of centroid shape, but not depending on the classifier ‘age’ (p > 0.05). GM allows visualizing the differences in the horses’ posture resulting from the selected manual rehabilitation techniques. The quantification of the horse’s body posture in the studied protocol indicates horses’ body posture after being warmed-up and massaged using the dorso–ventral technique is the most desirable.
