A detailed look at the amazing structure of a thoroughbred and what makes them the masters of speed.

A lengthy but well worth while study regarding the structure of a thoroughbreds lung capacity and their ability to take in such a huge volume of oxygen in one breath, the structure of their legs and also the understanding of the amount of pressure on tendons, ligaments and bones while in a gallop.

In the video our own previous SA vet, now practicing abroad, (Dr Greg Sommerville) shows us an example of a horse working with the scope in place in order to see the airways in use and a brief discussion on what to look for or listen for in a horse that is either a roarer or is gone in the wind.
