Abstract

Veterinary eliminations within the equestrian sport of endurance have predominantly been evaluated based on data from international competitions. However, in order to take part in international competition, each horse and rider must qualify by completing rides under their national federation. The aim of this study was to analyse the competitive data and veterinary eliminations, specifically lameness, from competitions run by the British governing body of endurance: Endurance GB, during the 2019 competitive season. Competitive results for 765 ride starts from seven different ride venues were evaluated; 81.6% (n=624) horses successfully completed the rides, with the remaining 18.4% (n=141) failing to complete the ride. The majority of horses that were unsuccessful were eliminated for lameness at veterinary inspections (n=83; 58.9%). Horses competing in single loop rides (up to 55 km rides) had a success rate of 88.6% (n=624), in contrast, horses competing in rides of three loops or more (>80 km rides) reported a decreased success rate of 61.8% (n=81). Hindlimb lameness was identified more frequently (n=50; 60.2%) compared with forelimb lameness (n=33; 39.8%). Further consideration should be given to the differences between single loop rides, where a higher percentage are presented to the veterinary panel as lame prior to the start, and multi loop rides, where a higher percentage of horses are eliminated lame during the ride and potential risk factors for the increased prevalence of hindlimb lameness observed.

2019年英国国家耐力赛中兽医淘汰的描述

马术耐力运动中的兽医淘汰主要是根据国际比赛的数据进行评估的。然而，为了参加国际比赛，每匹马和骑手必须通过完成其国家联合会的比赛而获得资格。本研究的目的是分析2019年英国耐力管理机构耐力GB举办的比赛中的竞争数据和兽医淘汰，特别是跛行。在7个不同的骑行场地，对765个骑行起点的比赛结果进行了评估;81.6% (n=624)匹马成功完成骑行，其余18.4% (n=141)匹马未能完成骑行。大多数不成功的马在兽医检查中因跛行而被淘汰(n=83;58.9%)。参加单圈骑行(最多55公里)的马的成功率为88.6% (n=624)，相比之下，参加三圈或更多(>80公里)骑行的马的成功率降低了61.8% (n=81)。后肢跛行更常见(n=50;60.2%)与前肢跛行(n=33;39.8%)。应进一步考虑单圈骑行和多圈骑行之间的差异，单圈骑行在开始前向兽医小组提交的跛马比例较高，而多圈骑行在骑行过程中消除跛马比例较高，观察到后肢跛行患病率增加的潜在风险因素。

期刊介绍： ''Comparative Exercise Physiology'' is the only international peer-reviewed scientific journal specifically dealing with the latest research in exercise physiology across all animal species, including humans. The major objective of the journal is to use this comparative approach to better understand the physiological, nutritional, and biochemical parameters that determine levels of performance and athletic achievement. Core subjects include exercise physiology, biomechanics, gait (including the effect of riders in equestrian sport), nutrition and biochemistry, injury and rehabilitation, psychology and behaviour, and breeding and genetics. This comparative and integrative approach to exercise science ultimately highlights the similarities as well as the differences between humans, horses, dogs, and other athletic or non-athletic species during exercise. The result is a unique forum for new information that serves as a resource for all who want to understand the physiological challenges with exercise.
