Abstract
Everything is energy. How to unleash the full potential of your horse? The horse is an exceptional athlete whose performance is underpinned by the dynamic interrelationships between respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neuroendocrine and energy systems that enable them to perform. For optimal performance, all of the physiological systems work together holistically to provide the fuel or energy to generate and maintain movement. This article will explore the role of energy in race horse performance and consider how we can adapt training programmes to facilitate optimal performance for the individual horse.
