    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 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).

Yeates, who is now retired and holds the designation of Extension Specialist Emeritus, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

  • Feeding Young Horses for Sound Development
    Feeding Young Horses for Sound Development Pete G. Gibbs Professor and Extension Horse Specialist Department Of Animal Science Equine Sciences Program The Texas A&M University System Gary D. Potter Professor Department Of Animal Science Equine Sciences Program The Texas A&M University System Introduction To a large extent, industry trends dictate methods used to manage horses. Rapid growth and development often is important for halter futurity contenders and for foals entering race training as yearlings, and while size itself is not a marketing factor for some disciplines such as cutting and reining, rigors of early training place great demands on young skeletal systems. Horse owners realize that young horses’ marketing or performance potentials often hinge on evidence of significant early development. Even without the demands of marketing or competition, sound early development is important for longevity and usefulness for all types of foals. Horse owners should decide whether to feed young horses for moderate or for rapid growth (Fig. 1). Either growth rate allows mature Some young horses must achieve rapid early growth to be competitive. horses to grow as big as their genetic bases will allow. However, rapidly growing horses reach their mature height and weight much earlier than do those fed to produce Developmental Problems moderate growth rates. Bone and joint problems known as developmental Limited data from Texas horse-farm owners suggests orthopedic diseases (DOD) are a major concern of horse that they make a profit from 42 percent of their young 29 22 owners. DOD appears to be heritable. Horses with horses, while they break even on 20 percent and lose genetic predispositions for large mature size often develop money on 21 percent of them.
