Eqn 3050 lecture 10 feb 8/18. Age-related changes in locomotor variables: parameters that are in uenced by age. Stride length; as the horse gets old they have a longer stride. Stride frequency; as the horse gets older they have a longer stride duration: parameters that are not in uenced by age. Swing duration and pro-retraction; can have a little in uence on this with training but not age: predict gait quality at a young age. Training effects on locomotion: 70-days of dressage and jump training. Forelimb; protraction and retraction range decreased; pointing at them being more light on their feet. As hoof grows, underside of periople akes off and forms a waxy substance which protects against evaporative water loss: sole. Similar in composition to hoof wall ; but it isn"t very thick. Essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic: ringbone, sidebone. Like an arthritic change, or thickening of cartilage.
