Article Synopsis
- Exercise intensity in horses is self-regulated, influenced by factors like social behaviors and operant conditioning, and may increase when another horse is seen ahead.
- In an experiment with seven horses, displaying a video of a trotting horse led to higher heart rates, plasma lactate levels, and specific behavioral changes compared to a control image without horses.
- The findings suggest that visual stimuli can motivate horses to exercise more intensely, indicating the ability of horses to adapt to social cues without the need for harsh training methods like using a whip.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a widely used hemocomponent that holds great promise in equine medicine due to its feasible production and regenerative therapy potential. Its use has been considered as a treatment for chronic laminitis, mainly in terms of its analgesic properties and because it can induce growth in affected hooves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on hoof growth attributable to PRP applied in the coronary band of clinically healthy horses by comparing the responses to PRP, saline, and trimming alone.
