veterinary handbook for endurance riding

The veterinary handbook for endurance riding provides guidelines to ensure the health and performance of horses during long-distance events. It covers topics like proper pre-race evaluation, ongoing monitoring of vital signs, hydration, nutrition, and injury prevention. During the ride, vets assess horses for signs of stress or fatigue, making decisions about rest or withdrawal to protect their well-being. The goal is to balance competitive effort with horse health, ensuring safe participation and optimal performance through standardized practices and prompt veterinary care.
