Understanding Bleeders in Race Horses

What Are Bleeders?

Bleeders, also known as horses with Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH), experience bleeding in their lungs during intense physical exertion, such as racing or high-performance activities. This condition can significantly impact a horse's health and performance.

Causes of EIPH

• High Blood Pressure: Intense exercise increases blood pressure in the lungs, which can cause capillaries to burst.
• Mechanical Stress: The rapid movement and heavy breathing during races put stress on the lung tissues.
• Genetic Predisposition: Some horses are genetically more prone to EIPH.

• Symptoms of EIPH

  • Nosebleeds: Blood may be seen at the nostrils post-exercise, although not all cases present this way.
  • Coughing: Horses might cough during or after exercise.
  • Poor Performance: A noticeable drop in performance levels during races or training.
  • Labored Breathing: Difficulty in breathing or signs of respiratory distress.

  • Diagnosis

    EIPH is typically diagnosed through:

    • Endoscopy: A scope is used to visualize the airways and detect bleeding.
    • Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL): Fluid is flushed into and then retrieved from the lungs to check for blood.
    • Radiographs: X-rays of the chest can show changes in the lung tissue indicative of EIPH.

    • Management and Treatment

      • Medications: Furosemide (Lasix) is commonly used to reduce bleeding by decreasing blood pressure in the lungs. However, its use is regulated in racing.
      • Training Adjustments: Modifying training intensity and frequency can help manage the condition.
      • Nutritional Support: Supplements like LungXL Powder provide essential vitamins and nutrients to support lung health and capillary strength.
      • Environmental Management: Ensuring clean, dust-free environments can help reduce respiratory stress.

      • Preventive Measures

        • Regular Vet Check-ups: Early detection and management of EIPH can prevent severe complications.
        • Proper Warm-Up and Cool-Down: Gradually increasing and decreasing exercise intensity can help reduce the risk.
        • Balanced Diet: Ensuring a diet rich in essential nutrients supports overall lung health.
