## Abstract Dorsal carpal osteochondral injury is a major cause of reduced performance in horses undergoing highβintensity training. It was hypothesised that the mechanical behaviour and histology of cartilage are influenced by the intensity of exercise and by location within a joint. Relationships
## Abstract The relevance of site and exercise on the biomechanical properties of the articular cartilage from the equine third carpal bone were assessed by creep indentation testing. Six horses were exercised for 30 minutes three times weekly. Another six horses were housed in box stalls and were
