We report a case of a 59-year-old man who experienced severe pubic, abdominal and lower back pain due to a bounce after a asynchronous rhythm of horseback riding without a saddle. The patient was referred to our Emergency Department because of a suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Computer tomography demonstrated diastasis of the pubic symphysis, active bleeding of a branch of the left internal iliac artery and a massive retroperitoneal haematoma. The arterial bleeding was directly coiled in the emergency setting, the stable pubic symphysiolysis was treated conservatively and the haematoma was surgically drained after three days. Bareback horse riding can lead to a pelvic fracture and severe bleeding leading to haemodynamical instability and life threatening situations. Using proper protective equipment including a saddle to prevent equestrian injury should be emphasized.展开更多

In the vaquejada races, the horses run at about 30 km/h, reaching maximum heart rates of around 200 bpm, indicating the great physical effort during competitions and with that could impact welfare. To test the hypothesis that vaquejada horses can be evaluated for the quality of welfare through a combination of non-invasive and invasive methods, an experiment was developed that aimed to assess the quality of welfare through thermography and blood biomarkers before and after vaquejada races. Ten vaquejada horses, which were in regular competition, were submitted to the vaquejadas racing test were used. Thermography was performed in 14 regions of interest (head, neck and thorax) in the following phases: pre-race and +1, +4 and +24 hours of the races. Blood samples were collected in pre-race, immediately after and +1, +4 and +24 hours of the races. Results were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey’s test, with p set at 5%. Thermography showed that local temperatures before the race and +24 hours after the races were similar (p > 0.05), as well as between +1 and +4 hours after the races (p > 0.05), which showed higher surface temperatures than the first group (pre-race and +24 hours) (p 0.05) after the exercises. In conclusion, the vaquejada horses evaluated by infrared thermography and blood analyses maintained the quality of well-being, with the physiological elevation of several parameters after the races and recovery in less than 24 hours after the races. Thermographic images were also able to help in the analysis of the regions of interest that have contact with harnesses, demonstrating that the use of adequate and correct equipment does not compromise animal welfare.展开更多
