Abstract
Exercise in horses is associated with a wide variety of physiological changes in fluid, electrolyte and acid base balance. The integration o f physiologic and physiochemical mechanisms acts to minimize alteratio ns in pH and enhance removal of carbon dioxide produced by exercising muscles. This article provides a description of the changes that take place during exercise and how these changes affect acid-base balance i n the horse.
