It is hypothesized that extended time at pasture in larger paddocks at a time where the foals\u2019 bodies undergo rapid growth and developmental plasticity provided the respective foals with a greater opportunity to achieve the necessary workloads and activity intensity for positive musculoskeletal tissue adaptation. This in turn led to greater resistance to injury and disease and athletic performance in later life.<\/p><p>There is also the possibility that early-life activity and exercise contribute to improved activity motivation, improved metabolic function and reduced obesity, and improved anti-inflammatory immunity at later stages of life.<\/p><p>The social environment in early life and the ability to move and express natural behaviour in groups also plays an important role in the development of coping behaviours as well as cognitive development and later-life resilience, which may enhance their performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3266e73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3266e73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Late Weaning<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae5fc76 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ae5fc76\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b5258a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b5258a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Weaning is recognised as being one of the most stressful events in the life of a horse. Evidence from observational studies of naturalistic equine populations suggests that when foals were allowed to wean voluntarily, which occurred on average at around 9\u201310\u2009months of age, any weaning-associated stress response appeared to be alleviated.<\/p><p>In the present study, a positive correlation was established between the total number of races by the end of the fourth year of life and the age at weaning.<\/p><p>Overall, the findings support that good welfare practices which support both physical and social development translate into enhanced performance at later life stages.<\/p><p>Reference: Mouncey, de Mestre, Arango-Sabogal, Verheyen,\u00a0Born to run?
