Re: [Fwd: RC: Research at rides]



Is bone important for endurance? Do endurance horses suffer from fractures
(or other bone related injuries)  to any great degree?

My understanding of bone measurements is that it also includes some of the
support apparatus and being used as proxy for the potential strength and
durability of those structures as much as it is bone strength.

Which brings me to the question as to whether ultrasound measurements would
a better (albeit more expensive) measurement. And how valid would it be - is
bigger better?
