Abstract

The conformation and gaits of a horse are the oldest criteria for predicting the performance of a young horse. The evaluation of these criteria are traditionally subjectively. However, the objective data on the horse of endurance are nonexistent.
Our study focused on the measurements by morphometric study of the horse of some morphological parameters of 24 individuals of different races and of different ages; at the riding club of Skikda and Constantine in Algeria ONDEEC over a period of six months (April-September 2010)
The horses that participated in the study were a mean age of 16 ± 5 years. Ages spread from 7 to 24 years, we worked on 15 Arab-Barb horse, 5 stallions of the breed Beard AQPS 3 horses and one riding horse. The parameters studied are the determination of body weight by the statement of body measurements and the use of different formulas for its development. The results are:
The Arab-Barb has an average weight of 401.09 ± 30.78 kg, Beard has an average weight of 416.34 ± 3,31kg,; calculated according to three formulas (p <0, 001).
