Research on the Health of Polo Horses

Horses are a big investment and polo horses must be in tip top shape. That means taking care of their maintenance and conditioning to ensure they can perform at a high level when needed. If you ever owned horses you will know how much work they are and what happens if you don't stay on schedule with their care. Neglect a stall for a full day and you will see. Make sure you take good care of your equestrian athletes.

This study highlights some some ailments and risks associated with polo horses.

The Necessity of Preparing Your Horse for Higher Polo Playing

Horses are just like people and they need to be conditioned in order to achieve their maximum performance. It wouldn't be wise to over push a horse that isn't ready for a hardy polo game. So conditioning is needed to maximize performance.

Consider conditioning with your horse so you are both growing together. Read this study and consider your best options. The Spatiotemporal Characteristics of 0–24-Goal Polo

Is Your Horse Happy According to Research?

If you are a horse enthusiast and love the smell of horse poop, like riding horses, and whispering to yourself and the horse then you may be interested in the study below. As a horse enthusiast I love to be with horses and spend a lot of time around my four-legged tail whipping friends. However, I often wonder if they are truly happy.

Yes, they do snort, and I have read a study saying that because they snort that is an indication of happiness. I would suspect that if they come by you when you show up, they are also somewhat friendly. However, some of the other cues and behaviors can be misinterpreted.
