Antioxidant Status in Three-Day Eventing Horses Studied

Rigorous competition, such as three-day eventing, affects the equine athlete physiologically in many ways, but how does it affect an animal’s antioxidant status?

Recently, researchers from Rutgers University and the University of Maryland set out to answer this question, and their study results showed that antioxidant levels appear to be challenged during the competition, but effects can vary depending upon the horse’s diet, as well as its competition and fitnes
