BIOMECHANICS OF A THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSE Introduction The science behind evaluating racehorses is deciding which faults make a direct impact to the horse’s career. The requirements needed for a horse to succeed starts at the conformation of the foal/yearling. To which conformational faults are passed down from parents, however, faults may or may not have consequences to their racing career, and therefore different trainers/bloodstock agents may have different inceptions with regard to acceptable faults (TOBA, 2015).

Throughout the history of American Quarter horses the main issue of the industry is the extent amount of drug usage on horses. The use of drugs on horses can help for healing and speed up the time of injury recovering, yet most of the time drugs hurt the horses. Today, this abusive action has only increased since the founding of the association. Quarter horses are jeopardized by having drugs injected in them to gain endurance and speed, but people fail to mention the risks that can occur. Injecting horses with dangerous drugs can cause heart attacks that may cause death after their race.

Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control. Many products are derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the urine of pregnant mares. Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water and shelter, as well as attention from specialists such as veterinarians and

Visual Conformation Side View To evaluate conformation and gait analysis, an example of a thoroughbred racehorse was examined to show structure and balance; good conformation within perimeters; way of going through photographic evidence to support gait analysis. The horse is a 6 year old, 15.3hh thoroughbred racehorse who has a good pedigree, has won and placed in races on

alone. He began by Obviously it would be very hard to keep balance and walk around in boots if they were filled with hooves. It seems that everything

Given the above considerations, Margaret's osteoporotic femurs are vulnerable to fracture because of (A) the loss of spongy bone in the epiphyses and (B) the thinning of the bony collar in the diaphysis.

Football being one of the most physical sport it is, I grew a love for it in all aspects. I’ve been playing the game of football for 10 plus years and can’t stress enough the importance of technique and player safety. In recent years people have become concerned with the long term effects of head related injuries caused by repeated collisions on the field. Head injuries such as concussions often leave participants of all levels permanently injured for life if the correct treatment isn’t provided. This is why studies around the country are being constructed to keep athletes safe and prevent any further injuries.

Concussions in Sports: Dangers Unknown The hit is quick and powerful. Sight is blurry; memory is hazy. The hand in front of your face has six fingers instead of five. JFK is president and the Grand Canyon is in Alaska. Concussions are the most frequent of traumatic brain injuries and they are receiving similar treatment as a rolled ankle. Sports of all kinds, ages, and gender need to increase the precautions set forth to preventing this life threatening injury.

This paper will talk about sports concussions and how they affect people. I will explain what a concussion is and how they occur. I will also make the comparison between boys and girls that will show how many boys and girls get, and in which sports concussions are the most common. Some of the questions some people might ask are, Do concussions have any long term after effects on people when they get one? This paper will answer that question and give some real life examples.

Horse Myths That Are Horse Hockey Light Colored Hooves Are Weak Hang around horses long enough and you will likely hear stories about how fragile white hooves are.

Every horse should receive one percent of its body weight in forage minimum to have a healthy diet. A horse that weighs 1000 pounds would receive ten pounds of forage. If a horse does not get the proper amount of roughage, health issues like ulcers can occur. Most show horses receive grain and other supplements as well. Flax seeds mixed in with grain are often recommended by many horsemen, because this supplement promotes a very healthy and shiny coat. Many also feed salt with their grain, to make sure the horse drinks enough water each day ("How Much Drinking Water Does Your Horse

The Evolution of a Horse Throughout history, humans have depended on the horse. Horses have contributed to the growth of humankind as transportation, farm workers, and battle steeds. They have been trained to support humans in many ways. When did this relationship begin? At what point did the horse become a vital part of human society? Exploring the evolution of the horse can help to answer these questions.

The minimal findings on radiography and ultrasonography were positive indicators for a good surgical outcome. The chance of a good surgical outcome would be reduced by a pre-existing conformation of excessively straight hocks or hyperextension of the fetlocks (Dyson and Murray, 2011), horses falling into this category would not be good surgical candidates. “Maddie’s” conformation was slightly straighter behind but not excessively so and there was no hyperextension of the fetlock therefore the horse went ahead to

This breed of pig has a very distinctive appearance, they have a fine, straight haired red coat and pricked ears with a long snout which is perfect for rotavating and finding food. Their snout also helps their excellent sense of smell. Tamworth Pigs feet are called "trotters”. They are called pig’s feet or knuckles when humans eat them as a delicacy. Tamworth Pigs have four toes that are pointed downwards. They do not walk on their whole foot, they walk on their tip toes and the outside toes are used for balance. The hooves of the feet are the toughest part. The two toes in the middle of the foot also help to balance the pig while walking because they are slightly webbed. They have a brilliant carcass yield of 70% because they have fine bones which means there is more meat to bone ration the their body.(KnowledgeBase.LookSeek.com, et al 2017)

In 2006, there were 58,372,106 horses in the world, and that number continues to grow to this day. People can help keep these horses’ feet healthy by buying a hoof pick. Horse owners should purchase a hoof pick because picking out horses feet can prevent thrush, show problems early on,
