This thesis examined growth, health and performance in sixteen 1.5-3-year-old Standardbred horses fed a forage-only diet and trained to race as 3-year-olds in either a control training programme (C-group) or a training programme in which the high intensity training distance was reduced by 30% (R-group). Body condition, height, body weight, exercise heart rate (HR), veterinary treatments, health status, locomotion symmetry and days lost to training were recorded continuously. Lactate, haematocrit and HR response to a standardised exercise were measured, as was lactate threshold (VLa4). A muscle biopsy was taken yearly for each horse and analysed for glycogen content. A complementary study examined the effect of forage crude protein (CP) cont...
