Dynamic Endoscopy

Posted 04/12/2020

Disorder in the upper and lower respiratory tract is one of the main reasons for reduced ability to perform among our riding horses today.

This Category clearly overtakes the category of lameness!

Through many years we have performed endoscopic examinations of the horses while resting. Today, it has been proved that it is during work/in motion that the horse has a problem.

Now we can get even closer to observe what happens in the horse's respiratory tract when in motion.

This is done with a so-called fiberscope, which is a long tube with a light and a camera at the tip.

More wants more, and we become increasingly greedy

Our breeding today is about making horses for the absolute top elite. We want to hit the 'golden age'...
