One of UK’s most prominent race horse trainers has sponsored a study at the University of Glasgow Equine Hospital where horses will have access to tiny cameras, which can check a horse’s breathing in full flow.

These cameras will be passed through the horse’s nose and respiratory tract so that images will be beamed to a control center. These images will show the movements in a horse’s breathing system. With this information, researchers will be able to see the various movements in the horse’s tract, and warn them of any medical condition in the horse.

Besides its medical benefits, the well known trainer Mark Johnston says that this Dynamic Respiratory Endoscope also has great potential in the horse racing industry. In the horse racing industry, every second counts.

And so with this endoscope, I think that owners will be able to diagnose a sickness well before hand while riders will be able to find out how tired a horse is during training and racing.

The breathing speed tells the rider how tired the horse is and other important information that proves revolutionary to the horse racing system. Better horses with better stamina will be able to perform much better in horse races.
