Did you know?

• Horses only breathe through their nose
• At canter and gallop healthy horses take 1 breath with 1 stride
• Healthy horses will only swallow 1-2 times for each minute of fast canter and gallop exercise
• The respiratory system is a weak link in the chain of transferring oxygen from outside to the muscles
• In trained horses the respiratory system limits performance
• You cannot train the respiratory system of a horse – it moves the same amount of air in and out at rest and exercise when fit as when unfit
• The main site of resistance to air moving into the horse and its lungs during exercise is the upper airway (nostrils, nasal passages and larynx) during inspiration (breathing in) and the lungs on expiration (breathing out).
