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.

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

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.

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.

Ways in which the equipment we wear, to the way coaches are now being taught to teach players the importance of technique to greatly reduce head injuries . Studies have shown that football helmets on average only reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury by approximately 20% , but with this new helmet made by RIDDELL which majority of football organization are wearing provide state of the art protection with this flexible shell technology. This technology helps reduce the impact force transfer to the athlete. The Tru-Curve Liner System allows the helmet to conform to the contours of a player’s head, while the Composite Energy Management System or (inner padding) absorbs impact energy. According to study done by Michelle Castillo of CBS news Riddell helmets out performed 10 other helmets and reduced the risk of a concussion up to about 10%. The importance of technique goes a long way. Head to head contact can be avoided when knowing how to properly form tackle.It is recommended that all coaches spend the time with their players to go over these ways to prevent injuries. Bobby Hosea, a 55-year-old former defensive back of Ucla has reached out to to all communities to run a camp that stresses one skill of how to tackle. Knowing how devastating a tackle could be if its not properly done I find this a very valuable source for all to take part in if you want to play the game of

Athletes around the world come together every day to compete and with competition comes injuries. Athletic trainers are typically the first responders to assist the athletes and provide diagnoses and treatment. Although injuries are always going to happen the main responsibility of an athletic trainer is to prevent them from happening. There are a wide range of possible injuries in which an athlete can get into, concussions are one of the most common types of injuries during sporting activities. As a matter of fact, concussions occur at a rate of 1.6 to 3.8 million per year during sporting activities (Broglio). However, these figures fall short as there are many concussion injuries, which are unreported by either athletes or coaches and often

Over 300,000 TBIs, traumatic brain injuries, occur annually in sports alone (Harvey). Concussions being one of the most common yet severe of injuries in sports require more regulations and guidelines toward preventing such a traumatic injury. One of the few laws set in

However concussions, head injuries that were only looked as minor sports related injuries are to be treated with more delicacy since they not only affect an athlete’s body but can also have multiple effects on the player injured. Concussions in professional sports have had long-term effects on those athletes whom have suffered from these types of injuries. Providing not only better equipment but also better regulations and treatments can make a difference inside the sports community to help those athletes who have suffered these types of head injuries.

There are many biomechanical actions that happen over very short times during equine locomotion that make gait analysis difficult to evaluate using normal diagnostic tools (Clayton, 1993).

When I learned how to heal my horse’s hoof a couple of years ago, the vision of being a vet was reaffirmed. It was a hot summer day when my dad and I were working around the barn. Like any other day as we worked we would check on how the horses were doing, this included grooming them and cleaning their hooves.
