Exercise and the height of horses |
|
| Authors: | A A Hodges A G Harrison C M Wathes |
| Abstract: | The heights of 89 horses were measured at the withers before and after half a furlong of trotting exercise. The mean (+/- sd) height increase after exercise was 1.75 +/- 0.86 cm and the horses returned to their resting height within seven minutes. There was no linear relationship between gain in height and pre-exercise height. |
