Overview of Joints and Diseases

The junction between any two bones is known as an articulation or a joint. There are several types of joints. Some are fixed or practically immovable, such as those found between the skull bones. Others are freely movable and have articular cartilage and joint capsules.

The articular cartilage covers the ends of the bones and reduces friction between bones. The joint capsule surrounds the joint and consists of a tough, outer coat and a thin inner layer which lines it. This inner layer is termed the synovial layer and it produces a fluid known as the synovial fluid. This fluid resembles egg white in consistency and lubricates the joint when the bones move against one another.

Parts of the outer layer of some joint capsules are thickened to form ligaments. Ligaments connect bone to bone while tendons connect muscle to bone (Figure 1).

Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint involving the bones, the articular cartilages, ligaments and joint capsules. In an infected or irritated joint the amount of fluid increases and produces swelling. Bacteria may enter the joint through a wound of the joint capsule resulting in damage to the bones and cartilages. The joint may then become immovable. To treat this condition the affected joint is rested. Medication is used to counteract the inflammation. If the arthritis is severe, immobilization and resting of the joint is continued for 4 to 6 weeks. The outcome is usual favorable if bone damage or new bone growth has not occurred.

An injury to a ligament is defined as a sprain. Some ligaments hold bones firmly together and allow very little movement; others allow considerable movement. If an abnormal stress or movement is placed upon a joint such as overextension of a joint, the ligament may be torn. The amount of injury depends upon how much force is placed upon the ligament. If the ligament is torn completely away from its attachments to a bone, recovery is difficult. Adequate rest is necessary in hope that the torn ligament may repair itself.

Joint mice are pieces of bone or cartilage found within the joint cavity and may be the result of a fracture. These produce pain when lodged between the articular surfaces and may also produce arthritis. Surgical removal is usually successful (Figure 2).

A "stifled" horse results from the "locking" of the patella (knee cap of man) in the stifle joint. Normally a horse stands for hours without tiring of the hindlimb musculature. This is due to the "locking" mechanism of the hindlimb. The "locking mechanism" consists of the loop formed by the junction of two patellar ligaments with the patella and the bony projection of the lower end of the femur (thigh bone).

The stifle joint is locked in an extended or straightened stiff position whenever the horse is unable to "unlock" the loop of ligaments from over the bony projection. Sometimes a slap on the croup will cause the horse to jump and "unlock" the stifle joint. Often his "locking" will reoccur. Whenever surgery is necessary to correct the condition, the medial patellar ligament is cut on the inside of the stifle joint in order to prevent further "locking" (Figure 3).

Bone Spavin

Bone spavin is defined as an inflammation of one or more bones of the hock andmost often causes an arthritic condition of the affected bones. In bone spavin the joint between the bones on the inside of the hock become immovable. Quick stops,such as those which occur during roping and other stresses, along with mineral deficiencies, may produce bone spavin. Horses with full, well-developed hocks tend to have less incidence of bone spavin than those with narrow, thin hocks. Bone spavin occurs on the inside of the hock (jack spavin). It may occur between the bones within the hock joint and cannot be seen or palpated (blind spavin). A large percentage of horses affected with blind spavin recover completely.

Jack spavin is usually a bony growth of variable size.The bony enlargement pushes out against a tendon that lies over the inside hock area (Figure 4).The cause of bony growth cannot be fully explained. When the hock is flexed or bent, pain is produced and as a result the hindlimb is not raised very high. Therefore, the horse drags his foot (Figure 5).

Treatment consists of alleviating as much pain as possible. By cutting the tendon veterinarians can remove one source of pain. However, the outlook for full recovery from jack spavin is usually not favorable even with surgery. The horse will probably be useable, but rest and time are needed for repair to occur.

Bog Spavin

There is no bony enlargement; swelling, heat and pain are most evident on the front surface of the hock (Figure 6).

The cause may be due to nutritional deficiencies, accidental injury to the hock joint or the hocks being too straight (hereditary). If the condition is caused by conformation or too straight hocks, it cannot be treated successfully. Veterinarians have many factors to consider in order to determine the cause and to advise the best treatment. Anti-inflammatory drugs may help bog spavin caused by nutritional deficiencies or injury. The drugs decrease inflammation and prevent swelling of the joint capsule. A bandage around the hock prevents excessive build-up of fluid and swelling. The horse is rested for 4 to 6 weeks. Adding vitamins and minerals to the diet may relieve bog spavin. Horses 6 months to 2 years of age are most often affected with bog spavin.

Ring Bone

This condition is characterized by new bone growth which occurs on the first, second or third phalanx (high or low ringbone). The phalanges are the three small bones extending from the fetlock to the hoof (Figure 7).Ringbone is more common on the forefeet than the hindfeet.

Ringbone is due to an inflammation of the tough fibrous layer which surrounds the bones. The inflammation may be caused by stresses which pull on ligaments attached to the bone. The new bone growth may lead to arthritis and stiffening of the joints between the fetlock and the pastern. If the tough, fibrous layer surrounding the bones is cut (such as in wire cuts), new bone growth may result. The new bone may grow into the joints between the phalanges and produce stiffening of the joints. In early ringbone, swelling and heat are present over the affected areas. To assure a complete diagnosis, it is necessary to take radiographs. Again the veterinarian has many factors to consider in advising the best treatment. If the joints are involved, chances for full recovery are poor. Immobilization of the foot and a long period of rest are often necessary. Corrective shoeing is also advisable in some cases.

The Natural Pace of Work Why Don't Grazing Horses Gallop? In Idle Theory's view, living creatures attempt to minimize the duration of work. If so, why don't they perform this work as rapidly as possible? Why don't they run around when busy? And for that matter, why don't busy people, out shopping or commuting, also run around? After all, if they ran, they'd get work done quicker, wouldn't they? The answer is that such a view does not take energy into account. Anyone who runs from place to place, from A to B, accelerates their body mass from standstill to running speed in some short interval of time. And in order to come to a halt again, they must deccelerate their body mass from full speed to standstill. Since this acceleration up to full speed requires work to be done, with more work with greater acceleration and higher top speed, it follows that the more rapidly some animal moves from A to B, the higher its energy expenditure in accelerating, deccelerating, and overcoming resistance to motion (friction) while travelling at full speed. In the case of a grazing animal, which moved from tuft to tuft of grass, with each tuft having some small energy content, the expenditure of energy in sprinting from tuft A to tuft B may exceed the gain in energy from consuming a tuft of grass. Running from one tuft of grass to another, a grazing animal may actually lose energy. But equally, if a grazing animal moves at a snail's pace from one tuft of grass to another, barely accelerating and deccelerating at all, it may spend so long in going from A to B that it will expend more energy with its basal metabolic rate (breathing, maintaining blood circulation, etc) over the long period it takes to move from A to B than it gains once it has reached B, and eaten another tuft of grass. If so, and there is a net loss of energy from moving from A to B too rapidly, or too slowly, then there is most likely a happy mean where it moves from A to B at some optimum speed that maximizes net energy gain. And this optimum might be called the natural speed of motion, or the natural pace of work - where the 'pace of work' translates as power output. Other factors may also need to be taken into account. The legs of animals may be regarded as pendulums with a natural swing period, and swinging their legs faster or slower than this natural swing period will entail performing more work, either in accelerating their legs or braking them. The natural speed of motion of an animal may simply be defined by the length of its legs. However animals don't have fixed length legs, and when animals run, they raise their legs, and thereby shorten them, and shorten the swing period. So animals with variable length legs may have a variety of natural harmonious speeds. Also, since muscular activity releases combustion products, these require to be exhausted before further work is done. In an internal combustion engine, the engine performs work when the fuel-air mix in a cylinder explodes and drives a piston. For the remainder of the cycle, the piston returns to its former position, forcing exhaust gases out of the cylinder. So an internal combustion engine isn't actually continually performing work, but only doing so about half the time it operates. It alternates between work and relaxation. A semblance of continuous work is achieved by using several cylinders in line, such that one or more are working while the others are 'relaxing'. The longer any effort is sustained, the lower the work rate. Long distance runners don't sprint all the way: that way brings exhaustion. In general it would seem that the longer the duration of any activity, the greater the need for periods of relaxation. A sprinter's efforts are concentrated into a few seconds. Football games last 90 minutes, with a 15 minute half time. And while footballers periodically sprint, they spend the remainder of the time walking slowly or standing still. A game of cricket may last an entire day, but batsmen only swing momentarily at a ball, and fielders only intermittently run to stop flying balls. A game of golf may last for several days, but entails moving at walking pace, and periodically striking a ball. If there is a natural pace at which any work should be performed, it will necessarily be a relatively leisurely pace, rather than with the mightiest exertion. If this natural pace is exceeded, or retarded, net work done per unit time falls. The same applies to mental work as physical work. After all, a brain is simply another organ that performs some kind of work, and requires energy to power it, just as computers need an electricity supply. One can no more mentally work continuously than one can physically work continuously. And the greater the mental exertion required, the longer the periods of compensatory relaxation needed. It is necessary for office workers, whose work is essentially mental in nature, to have coffee breaks, cigarette breaks, lunch breaks, and to just gaze out of the window for a while now and again. If this is not permitted, exhaustion will follow, and less work will get done overall. If hard-working executives in high pressure jobs suffer 'burn-out', it is because they have been either been overworking themselves, or have been overworked.

말은 원래 자유분방하고 야생성이 강하여 집단을 이루어 사는 동물이다. 말은 태어나면서부터 신속함(최고 시속60~70km/hour)과 냄새를 잘 맡는 탁월한 능력 (새끼 망아지는 어미를 냄새로 알아본다), 넓은 시야 (두눈을 통해 거의 360°를 볼수 있으며 좌우측 눈으로 각각 다른 환경을 동시에 확인할 수 있다)를 통해서 육식동물의 위험으 로부터 보호를 받으며 선천적으로 공격성이 없는 방어적인 동물이기도 하다. 말은 지능이 뛰어난 동물은 아니지만 자의나 타의에 의해서 얻어지는 교육과 체험을 통한 공포, 아픔과 칭찬받는 행위 등에 대해서 좋은 기억력을 갖는다..공포성(恐怖性) 말은 예민한 감각과 순발력 등이 잘 발달한 동물이다. 겁이 많고 쉽게 놀라며 투쟁이나 공격보다는 도피를 최대의 방어수단으로 인식한다..그래서 상황의 변화시에는 달아나려는 습성을 가진다..말은 공포심이 많아 야생에서 한가로이 풀을 뜯다가 주변 환경이 조금만 바뀌어도 도망.치므로 <공포의 동물>이라는 별명을 갖고 있다. 군집성(群集性) - 군서성(群捿性) <혼자있는 말은 쉽게 죽는다>는 격언은 말의 군집성을 잘 나타내는 표현이다. 말은 무리와 항상 같이 있어야 심리적인 안정을 가진다..말은 외로움을 쉽게 느끼는 동물로서 무리를 찾아 생활 하려는 욕구가 강하다. 따라서 여러 마리의 말이 있을 때 리더그룹의 말이 달리게 되면 다른 말들도 따라 달리는 경향을 보인다. 귀소본능(歸巢本能).비둘기와 같은 동물들이 수천 마일을 날아서 정확히 자기집을 찾아가듯이 말도 이와 비슷해 멀리 떨어진 위치에서도 자기의 보금자리를 잘 찾아오는 귀소본능을 가지고 있다..그래서 사람이 길을 잃고 헤멜 때 말이 길을 찾아낸다는 이야기가 있을 정도며 이러한 말의 귀소 본능을 <말의 6감>이라 일컫기도 한다. 사회성(社會性).말은 사람들이 인식할 수 있는 언어 전달체계를 가지고 있지는 않다..그러나 말들끼리만 통하는 특별한 정보 전달체계 등을 가지고 있어 주위에 있는 다른 말들의 가냘픈 소리나 사소한 움직임등에도 민감하게 반응한다. 그래서 자기도 거기에 응답하여 소리를 내거나 발로 구르는 등의 응답 시스템을 작동한다. 모방성(模倣性).말들은 군집성과 사회성 등을 가진 동물이기 때문에 동료 말들에게 나쁜 행동이나 습관 등을 쉽게 배워 실천에 옮기려고 하는 모방성 또한 강한 동물이다. 그래서 주위의 말이 울면 따라 울기도 하고 승마로 잘 훈련된 말을 따라하는 경우도 있다.. 외형적 특징.말은 머리, 목, 다리 등의 부위가 다른 가축에 비해 긴 신체적 특징을 가진다. 초식동물로 독초를 구분하기 위하여 코를 많이 사용함으로서 코가 발달.하게 되었고, 나뭇잎을 뜯기 위해 목을 길게 뻗으면서 목이 길게 되었다. 긴다리는 자신 체중의 10배 무게를 감당할 수 있을 정도의 충격을 흡수한다. 말은 아름다운 털(毛色)을 가지고 있다. 20여 가지의 다양한 털 색깔과 무늬, 사람의 지문에 해당하는 가마를 보고 말을 외형적으로 감별하게 된다. 말은 머리가 나쁘다?.말은 체격에 비해 뇌의 무게가 630g 정도(체중의 0.12%)로 매우 작다..대부분의 초식동물이 뇌가 작아 지능이 낮은 것으로 알려져 있듯이 말도 지능이 낮은 동물로 인식되고 있다. 무게가 630g 정도(체중의 0.12%)로 매우 작다..매일 먹이를 주고 보살피는 주인도 알아보지 못하는 수준의 지능이다..그러나 말은 고통, 통증, 놀람 등 특수한 상황에 대한 기억력이 좋아 신변에 위협을 받았던 경험 등은 몇 년 동안 기억하는 경우도 있다. 또한 방향, 장소 등 지리적 공간 감각이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그래서 말의 동작에 대한 습관성을 이용해서 반복 훈련을 하면 효과가 크다. 말의 감각은?.말의 시각은 좌우측 눈의 시야가 독립적으로 형상화되는 양안시이다. 사람은 하나의 화면으로 보지만, 말은 동시에 2개의 화면을 볼수 있다. 또한 색맹으로 알려져 있으나 명도 차이에 따라 7~8가지 색상은 구분 할수 있다는 주장이 설득력을 얻고 있다. 말의 후각은 매우 발달해 있다. 어미말이 새끼말을 냄새로 분별하며 망아지 역시 냄새로 어미를 알아본다. 말은 귀에 많은 근육이 분포되어 귀를 전후좌우로 움직일수 있고, <귀로 사물을 본다>는 말 처럼 심리적 상태를 귀의 움직임으로 표현한다. 말은 단맛과 신맛을 구분하며 설탕, 당근, 사과를 좋아한다. 말과 잠 야생상태의 말은 하루종일 풀뜯기와 잠자기를 되풀이한다. 하루에 18시간 정도 풀뜯기를 하며, 배가 부르면 서서 졸게 된다..잠자는 시간은 여러 차례에 나누어 하루에 불과 3~4시간 정도이다. 따라서 <나폴레옹 수면>이라 일컬어지는 말의 수면 특징은 특유의 공포감을 가지고 있다는 반증이기도 하다. 말도 사람과 같이 매년1월 1일을 기준으로 1살씩 많아진다. 태어난 해를 이얼링(yearing)이라하고, 그 다음해 1살이 되는 것이다. 말의 자연수명은 20세, 경제수명은 15세 정도로 알려져 있다. 말 6세는 사람 20세, 말 11세는 사람 40세에 해당된다. 성장은 2세까지 끝나고 5~6세 때 원기가 왕성하다. 말의 나이는 이빨의 마모 상태로 감별할 수 있다. 말은 튼튼하다!.말의 키는 견갑(어깨꼭지)에서 전지(앞 다리) 발굽의 뒷 부위까지의 길이를 기준으로 하는데, 말의 키는 "하이트 핸즈(height hands)"라는 단위를 사용한다. 1hh는 10.16cm로, 대개 포니는 14hh, 드러브렛은 15~16hh, 승용마는 16~17hh 정도이다. 말의 체중은 포니가 300kg, 드러브렛 500kg, 승용마 600kg정도 되며, 마차를 끄는 샤이어종은 1,000kg이 넘기도 한다. 체중은 매월 측정하여 사료급여에 참고한다. 말의 최대 속력은 62km/h정도로 동물중에는 빠르기로 정평이나 있는데 이렇게 말이 잘 달릴 수 있는 이유는 강한 심장과 튼튼하고 긴 다리를 가지고 있기 때문이다. 말은 흉골이 18쌍으로 다른 동물에 비해 흉강이 월등이 크다. 따라서 흉강 안의 심장과 폐의 크기가 다른 동물보다 크다. 말이 달릴때는 폐와 심장은 정상시 보다 1.5~2배 정도 확장되어 심폐기능이 상승되는 효과가 있다. 다리는 탁월한 완충장치와 추진장치를 갖추고 있다. 앞 다리에는 2곳, 뒷 다리에는 3곳에 완충 관절이 있으며, 발굽의 수축과 이완작용으로 달릴 때 탄력을 받아 빠르게 달릴 수 있다. 말은 해부 생리적으로 잘 달릴 수 있는 조건을 갖추고 있으며 본능적으로 공포심이 많아 무작정 전력을 다해 달리는 것이다.

Race Comments: CURLIN stumbled a bit at the start and was unhurried in the early stages while moving to the inside, angled out leaving the first turn, was unhurried while four wide along the backstretch, closed the gap from outside leaving the far turn, circled five wide to reach contention approaching the quarter pole, lagged slightly behind STREET SENSE in upper stretch, dug in under strong urging nearing the eighth pole then battled back gamely under right hand encouragement to get up in the final stride. STREET SENSE tucked in soon after the start, was rated well off the pace for a half, moved out a bit to launch his run at the half mile pole, angled back to the rail while gaining on the far turn, swung out approaching the quarter pole, split rivals while four wide entering the stretch, charged to the front in upper stretch, opened a clear advantage in midstretch, continued on the front into deep stretch then yielded to the winner in the closing strides. HARD SPUN broke a bit slowly, was under a firm hold while ranging up in the early stages, advanced five wide into the backstretch, made a strong middle move under a strong hold from outside along the backstretch, opened a clear lead on the far turn, set the pace into upper stretch and weakened under pressure through the final eighth. C P WEST raced in the middle of the pack while four wide leaving the first turn, gradually gained while continuing wide along the backstretch, closed the gap from outside on the far turn, angled into the three path while just behind the leaders nearing the quarter pole, dropped back a bit in upper stretch and weakened in the final eighth. CIRCULAR QUAY trailed six furlongs, angled four wide while gaining slightly at the three-sixteenths pole then closed some ground with a mild late rally. KING OF THE ROXY was taken in hand while saving ground early, moved out after a half, swung four wide on the turn and lacked a late response. MINT SLEWLEP checked after being bumped off stride at the start, raced well back for six furlongs, swung out in upper stretch and failed to mount a serious rally. XCHANGER broke inward causing crowding at the start, rushed up inside, set the pace along the rail to the far turn and steadily tired thereafter. FLYING FIRST CLASS pressed the pace in the two path between rivals to the half mile pole and gave way.

RACE TYPES (Thoroughbred and Arabian)

SHP
Starter Handicap
This category is reserved for horses that have been running in inferior claiming company, but have improved to the point that they would not be risked being sold in a claiming race. In effect this race is an allowance race restricted to horses that have previously run in a claiming race at a specific level (e.g. starters for a claiming price of $5,000). In a starter handicap race, horses are weighted similar to a handicap race.

STK
Stakes
Races are classified as STAKES races when the meet two basic criteria, 1) They have money added to the base purse of the race in the form of nomination, entry and or starter fees paid by owners; 2) Nominations for a STAKES race must close at least 72 hours prior to its running.
Stakes races can be under allowance conditions (weight off allowed based upon number of wins or money won); handicap conditions (Racing Secretary or Handicapper assigns weight based upon past performances with the goal of giving each horse an equal chance to win the race) or weight for age conditions, (each horse carries equal weights based upon their age and sex).

STR
Starter Allowance
Starter allowance races are identical to starter handicap races with the only difference that horses competing in this race are weighted through allowance conditions (i.e. number of races or money won).

HCP
Handicap
This race type refers to a race where the weights are assigned by the track’s Racing Secretary or Handicapper based upon past performances. Their goal is to assign weight to each horse so that all entrants have an equal chance of winning the race. THERE IS NO ADDED MONEY IN A HANDICAP RACE.

MSW
Maiden Special Weight
These races are reserved for horses that have never won a race. They are not eligible to be claimed. The term special weight is derived from the fact that arbitrary weights are assigned to horses by age. (e.g. 3 year olds 118 pounds, older 122 pounds.)

CLM
Claiming
Claiming races are the most commonly run races in the country. Horses competing in claiming races are offered for sale for a specified priced to eligible buyers.

OCL
Optional Claiming
This race type is quite involved and incorporates features of starter allowance and claiming races. Horses competing in this type of race can either compete as a claimer, or as a starter allowance horse, with no claiming price.
Those competing in this race that are not eligible to be claimed must have competed at or below the claiming level specified, and have not won a race at the specified claiming or higher since last competing at the specified claiming level or a lower claiming price.

MCL
Maiden Claiming
Maiden claiming races are for horses that have never won a race and are eligible to be claimed.

OCH
Optional Claiming Handicap
This type race is an OPTIONAL CLAIMING race that is run under HANDICAP conditions. See both race types listed for a further explanation

MOC
Maiden Optional Claiming
This type race is restricted to maidens (non-winners lifetime) that run under the conditions exactly as those for optional claiming races (see Optional Claiming above).

CLH
Claiming Handicap
A race for horses entered to be claimed, with weight assignments similar to those of a handicap race (see Handicap listed above).

CST
Claiming Stakes
A race for horses entered to be claimed. Nomination and possibly entry and starters fees are added to the base purse.

MAT
Match Race
A match race is a race that involves just two horses. It can be run under a number of conditions, but generally is run in allowance or handicap conditions.
To qualify as a MATCH RACE, only two horses were entered in the race. The race does not qualify as a MATCH RACE if more than two horses originally entered the race and some were scratched, making it a two-horse field. .

TR
Training Race
This race type is to be used ONLY in conjunction with Steeplechase races. The National Steeplechase Association has designated some races run on the "Flat" as TRAINING races.

Dirt Conditions:

FT - Fast - Completely dry and at optimal efficiency.

WF - Wet Fast - Occurs immediately after a heavy rain; track has surface water on it, but the base is still solid, accounting for times similar to (or even faster than) a fast track.

SY - Sloppy - As the track continues to accumulate moisture, the base is still solid but water is beginning to seep into the base; SURFACE WATER IS EVIDENT.

MY - Muddy - Moisture has permeated the base of the track; times are somewhat slower and running tires the horses more.

SL - Slow - The racing surface has begun to dry out; the base is still soft, but surface drying is evident; times are generally slower than normal.

HY - Heavy - Similar to Muddy, track surface is deep and consistency is thick, an obvious slowing of times will be apparent as will the tiring of front runners.
