Investigation into the influence of yearling sale production parameters on the future career longevity and success of New Zealand thoroughbred race horses A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science in Agricultural Science (equine) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Kristi Louise Waldron 2011 Abstract Few studies have investigated the influence of yearling sale production parameters on racing performance of Thoroughbred horses. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of yearling sales parameters, in particular dam (mare) age at the time of conception, on future career success and longevity in a population of Thoroughbred racehorses in New Zealand. A retrospective cohort study was used to investigate racing success and longevity in a population of Thoroughbred horses in New Zealand, over eight and a half racing seasons. Retrospective records of the 2002 born Thoroughbred foals in New Zealand were obtained from the New Zealand Bloodstock (NZB) online database and the New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) database. Logistic regression models using the binary outcomes trial, race and prize money earned were analysed with exposure variables. Cox regression survival analysis was used to investigate the association between the number of race starts and the time to cessation of racing. Linear regression was preformed to assess the effect of exposure variables with the outcome measure prize money earned (ln, $NZ). -

P Oints of Evaluation
Lesson Plan Outline 1. As with all horses, evaluation of Arabians is mostly based on principles of sound horsemanship common to all breeds. Arabian horses do, however, have distinctive breed traits. A. The modern Arabian horse comes from a long line of purebred horses with proud heritage. B. They were carefully bred over thousands of years to be functional and beautiful. C. Arabians should evidence type, sound conformation, balance, substance, quality, and suitability. 2. Type and Conformation A. Arabian horses have a distinctive look. This is called type and is seen throughout the Arabian horse. The overall picture should be of refinement and quality while still showing substance. Points of Evaluation Points i. The head is often small and refined. Specific traits include large and wide-set eyes, bulging forehead, dished profile, large nostrils, small muzzle, rounded jaw, and close-set ears. The neck is typically somewhat arched and ties in high to the chest and withers. ii. The shoulder is long and slopes to a short back, comparatively flat croup, and high-set tail. iii. Height should be from 14.1 hands to 15.1 hands. B. Arabian horse conformation is based on function. The desert home and nomadic heritage of the breed demanded that only the fittest, most resilient horses were bred. Thus, the breed as a whole 10805 East Bethany Dr has exceptionally durable conformation. Aurora, CO 80014 i. Balance: the horse presents a pleasing look at the profile. Can you divide the horse into thirds: shoulder, barrel, and hip? If a horse is balanced this ratio should be fairly close. -
