Miguel Vila Ubach, of Spain, and his eight-year-old Hungares landed a surprise victory in the 160-kilometre World Endurance Championship yesterday. The first of seven disciplines at the World Equestrian Games, the endurance developed into a war of attrition.

Endurance rides covering distances from 40 to 160 kilometers in a 24-hour period are grueling tasks for both horse and rider. So it's not surprising to learn that up to 60% of horses can be eliminated for health reasons during the competition. A team of U.S. researchers recently set out to determine which factors, at the start and in the first or second half of rides, contribute to endurance horses' elimination from competition. "To our knowledge, this is
