Peterson Smith Equine Hospital + Complete Care offers endoscopic examinations of the upper airway to evaluate the breathing capacity of young racehorses. The size of the airway is considered to be significant in the amount of air the horse is able to take in, and the arytenoid cartilages and epiglottis are also critically assessed for symmetry and correct anatomy.
