C:C -likely to be a fast, early maturing horse that performs well as a two-year-old. Average best distance &#8211; 6.5 f (1300 m) C:T -mixture of speed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Endurance people take note! Your horses are affected by transportation. They are amazing creatures, but they do need time to recover fully following transportation. They also have increased susceptibility to disease in the 24 hours following transportation. Also, they are less stressed and less likely to get sick if their heads are not tied during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) of a feed can be used to characterize large animal diets. DCAD (also known as DCAB or dietary cation-anion balance) of the diet is a major determinant of blood SID as the strong ions enter the blood from the digestive tract (Riond 2000). DCAD is the difference between the strong [...]]]></description>

Scientific evidence currently does not support nor refute claims made by massage advocates. Although many studies find that massage may be beneficial, researchers also discuss the lack of objective measures and [...]]]></description>
