Assessment of fitness in the horse

THE aim of any racehorse trainer, eventer. show-jumper or competitor at pony club level, is to be able to have their horses adequately fit so that they have a chance of competing successfully against other animals of equal standing. A further benefit in having a suitably fit animal is that the risk of fatigue related injuries is reduced. As fitness is a relative term, fitness requirements will differ with the level and type of competition and the inherent ability of the horse. In some instances a horse with high inherent ability will not require the same degree of fitness as a lesser animal. Even some of the best horse experts have difficulty in judging when the appropriate stage of fitness has been reached. This is especially so for top class competition where there is a very fine line between peak fitness and overtraining, the latter leading to impaired performance.
