AB  - This study examined the effect of exercising horses five times per fortnight with 
      two bouts of 5 min duration at their v(10) with 2 days between consecutive 
      exercise sessions. Five Anglo-Arabian horses were treadmill-conditioned for 6 
      weeks. A standardized exercise test (SET) was performed at the beginning of the 
      conditioning period (CP) to determine the blood lactate-running speed (BLRS) and 
      the heart rate-running speed (HRRS) relationship and the SET was repeated every 2 
      weeks. After each SET, the BLRS relation was used to calculate the horse's speed 
      (v = velocity), which produced a blood lactate concentration (LA) of 10 mmol/l 
      (v(10) ) and 4 mmol/l (v(4) ). From the HRRS was calculated the speed at which 
      the horses had a heart rate of 180 b/min (v(180) ). Each horse was then 
      conditioned for the next 2 weeks five times at its individual v(10) for two 5-min 
      bouts. Exercise speed was individually adapted to the new v(10) every 2 weeks. In 
      addition, horses were submitted to another SET prescription to determine the peak 
      oxygen consumption (VO(2 peak) ) before, after 3 weeks and at the end of CP. The 
      v(4) of horses increased during the CP (p < 0.05). v(180) did not change (p > 
      0.05). VO(2 peak) increased in the first 3 weeks of CP (p < 0.05) and levelled 
      off afterwards (p > 0.05). The conclusion drawn was that exercising horses five 
      times per fortnight at their v(10) for two 5-min bouts with 2 days between 
      consecutive exercise sessions improved v(4) and VO(2 peak) but not v(180).
