Upper Airway Pre Purchase Examination
- Essential in assessment of athletic ability -
 
Examinations of the upper airway (UA) at racehorse sales around the world become an important part of the purchase examination performed on horses intended for athletic endeavors. The examination is obviously done to avoid purchasing a horse with a condition or abnormality that will adversely affect the ability of the horse to train or race.
The focus of this information is to raise awareness of the variations discovered as a result of evaluating the UA of the immature racehorse (yearling, 2-year-old etc.), particularly in reference to function of the larynx (and arytenoids) and other influential aspects of it.
 
The amazing calculation of a circular opening (= Larynx)!
Some well developed horses will have an air intake opening capacity which can be
twice that of others. In terms of the physics of airflow that means:
 
A circular opening which is twice the diameter of another one
is not twice - but sixteen times as efficient!
 
This is practically determined by the expansion capacity of the Larynx's muscular structures and other important factors of it. In comparison the airway cavities and the wind pipe vary insignificantly in size, creating only minor differences in airflow capacity.

Information on RLN (Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy)
Untitled document
Understanding RLN means => understanding breathing capacity
Breathing capacity determines => level of athletic performance
 
RLN is the name that has been given to describe all forms of this common condition of the nervous system. RLN may be inherited or acquired but 99% of cases are inherited.
 
Of course RLN has a limiting effect on the performance of afflicted hoses long before it reaches the stage of being recognizable by noises! Nevertheless, when these signs occur, it needs to be recognized that the condition has reached a serious stage. "Roaring" is well-recognized by trainers and owners as an undesirable sign in race horses but it is not fully understood how undesirable it is and neither is paid enough attention to the fact  of the gravity of these conditions in their less severe forms!
