Description

Lameness, or musculoskeletal (MS) injuries, are the most common health problem in Thoroughbred racehorses and represent a economic cost to industry in terms of treatment cost and lost opportunity to race. In addition the high number of MS injuries in racehorses, particularly in two-year-olds, has also raised welfare concerns.

Enjoy!
