Why this course
Performance is not luck — it's protocol.
Owners, trainers and riders demand more than recovery: they demand measurable improvement. This course gives you the diagnostic eye, objective tools and rehabilitation playbook to deliver it.
Objective Performance Monitoring
Use HR, lactate, gait and stride data to baseline, programme and prove progress.
Lameness & Musculoskeletal
Systematic gait evaluation, blocks, imaging and treatment decision-making.
Respiratory & Cardiac Fitness
Identify the limiters of performance and intervene with confidence.
Tendon, Ligament & Back Rehab
Evidence-based rehab protocols from acute injury to full work.
Clinical Practice
Hands-on case work translating protocols into real clinical decisions.
Rider, Trainer & Vet Collaboration
Communication frameworks that align the whole performance team.
What you walk away with
A complete performance toolkit — not just notes.
- EIVET Sport Horse Performance certificate
- Full set of objective monitoring & rehabilitation protocols
- Case-based decision algorithms for lameness, fitness & recovery
Equine veterinarians, performance vets and clinical teams supporting competition yards, racing stables, studs and rehabilitation centres who want to deliver measurable, science-led results.
Sport Horse Performance — Race & Endurance Trainers
A science-based programme built specifically for racehorse and endurance trainers — and the veterinarians who support them. We start from anatomy and exercise physiology, then translate the science into training programmes, nutrition, supplementation and day-to-day monitoring that get the most out of the horse while protecting it from injury.
- Anatomy & physiology as the foundation for every decision
- Periodised training plans tailored to race vs endurance
- Nutrition & targeted supplementation that actually moves the needle
- Objective monitoring — HR, lactate, GPS, recovery markers
- Early-warning signs and load management to prevent breakdown
