Ridecamp: [RC] Fwd: horse stuff

 Note: forwarded message attached.

I've got a question for the academic types on the
list.  I'm attaching a note from my daughter-in-law
(Wendy).  (or I will try to)

In case it's not there:  She's starting grad school in
Kansas & will be working for a Dr. Poole, who does
some equine research.  Wendy is looking for a project
to do her research on & wonders if there are any
cardiovascular problems in endurance horses that might
warrant funding.  I told her I'd ask ridecamp - they
know everything!  Please reply to me.  Thank you

Hi!  How are you?  How was your trip?  Sounds like you had a great time. They were really lucky you were there!

 

I would like to pick your brain re: endurance horse racing.  The lab I am going to be in does some horse research, exercise induced pulmonary hypertension (EIPH) or "bleeding" in thoroughbreds.  As you know this is caused by short bouts of intense exercise.  What do you think about endurance type exercise in horses?  Is there any particular cardiovascular problem or question that arises in your endurance riding circles?  I would really like to do some horse research and to do so I should really come up with an idea that would warrant funding.  Do you have any suggestions?

 

 Wendy
