Health of All Participants Is Under Control

Animals’ health appears as a vital factor when organizing races or tournaments. To participate in activities during all races, horses must have strength and endurance. One obvious example — a competition called Jumping, which remains physically difficult. Our staff requires pre-race vet check for each four-legged participant to let them take part during competitions in Grants Pass Downs.

Before starting, we must make sure that all animals receive appropriate qualified medical care, and their participation does not cause negative consequences. Veterinarians thoroughly examine each horse: skin tattoos, no injuries to their legs, hooves and torso.

Animal gait observation helps understand movement comfort degree, and how fast it moves around. Maximum speed when moving with trotter or gallop reaches 50-60 km/h, which veterinarians consider. During all races, experts are watching four-legged athletes when preparing animals and closely observing their behavior.

When doctors find slightest symptoms which indicate the horse cannot race, we cannot allow it. Deeper examination remains vital when identifying serious problems that require long-term treatment.

These problems include: the musculoskeletal system diseases, parasitic microorganisms penetration into the body, joint diseases, infections. If vets have timely carried out treatments, athletes recover and continue living their full life!
