“…The mean age of the horses in our study was 11.2 years. Nonetheless, the mean age of the total horse population in The Netherlands is unknown but in a previous epidemiological survey in sport horses in The Netherlands, a mean age (±SD) of 7.1 ± 3.2 years was recorded (Sloet van Oldruitenborgh-Oosterbaan et al, 2010). The fact that our study population was somewhat older may have been influenced by our inclusion criteria: we enrolled horses >1 year of age that had been examined twice on the same farm prior to the study.…”

“…Approximately 1% (520) of horses registered with the Dutch National Equestrian Federation in 2004 for dressage, showjumping, eventing or endurance were selected at random and all recorded competition data between 1995 and 2009, together with telephone survey data were analysed (Sloet van Oldruitenborgh‐Oosterbaan et al . 2010).…”

Evaluation of the appearance of osteochondrosis lesions by two radiographic examinations in sport horses aged from 12 to 36 months

Osteochondrosis is a developmental orthopedic disease characterized by a defect of enchondral ossification. This pathological condition develops and evolves during growth and is influenced by various factors, in particular genetic and environmental. However, little research has been conducted on the dynamic of this condition in horses after the age of 12 months. The retrospective study presented here investigates changes in osteochondrosis lesions through two standardized radiographic examinations carried out on young Walloon sport horses after one year of age (mean age at first and second examination was 407 (±41) and 680 (±117) days respectively). Each examination, analyzed independently by three veterinarians, included latero-medial views of the fetlocks, hocks, stifles, plantarolateral-dorsomedial hocks view and additional radiograph if the operator deemed it necessary. Each joint site was graded as healthy, osteochondrosis (OC) or osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) affected. A group of 58 horses was studied, among them 20 presented one or more osteochondrosis lesions for a total of 36 lesions present during at least one examination. In this population, 4 animals (6.9%) presented osteochondrosis during only one examination (2 at the first examination and 2 at the second one). Moreover, it was possible to demonstrate the appearance, disappearance and more generally the evolution of 9/36 lesions (25%) within the different joints. The results of the study suggest that, although substantial main limitations, osteochondrosis lesions can evolve after the age of 12 months in sport horses. Knowing this is useful in helping to decide the appropriate radiographic diagnosis timing and management.
