RE: [RC] [RC] RC:Core Temp - Terry Banister

Here is another statement from this Abstract:

"Recent research also shows that dietary fat can aid in thermal regulation by decreasing heat production, resulting in less heat that must be removed from the body."

So, if one suspects a horse is either not quite fit/conditioned for the task at hand,
or the horse is above or below a body score of 5,
one would KEEP THE SPEED/INTENSITY in the AEROBIC RANGE in order to prevent imbalancing the glycogen and electrolyte stores on that horse, on that day. If the horse can use the energy derived from their daily feed, then their body does not dip into its reserves. Correct conditioning and stored energy are what keeps the chemistry "balanced" naturally during extreme conditions.


Anaerobic conditioning prior to competition (the article said it takes two weeks for a previously FIT horse to adapt to working/training in extreme heat/humidity), and adding dietary fat and vitamin/mineral supplements in regular diet, provides the reserves needed to keep the horse from going anaerobic, decreases the builldup of heat and increases the ability to shed excess heat during cometition.
