Abstract:BackgroundAfter submaximal exercise, blood values of eventing horses show physiological reactions.ObjectivesThis prospective longitudinal study investigated blood parameters in 20 elite eventing horses before and after two–four‐star cross‐country rides.MethodsUsing a mixed model adjusting for plasma volume shift, we assessed exercise‐dependent parameters and compared blood values with reference ranges for healthy horses at rest.ResultsFollowing exercise, cortisol, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) showe… Show more
