[endurance] what kind of injuries??

Has any research been done on the most common types of injuries incurred by
endurance horses? I mean do they suffer primarily from metablic problems
like thumps and severe dehydration or are there more muscle pulls, bowed
tendons, etc?? I'm wondering in the context of an actual ride - not over
the entire career including trianing - I would think there would just be
toooo many variable to take into account there to make any of the info
valid...
