| Popis: | Background Blood l‐lactate and glucose concentrations were higher in ponies with gastrointestinal disease than in horses, possibly because of differences in body condition (BC). Objectives To investigate whether l‐lactate and glucose concentrations correlate with BC and differ between healthy horses and ponies. Animals Systemically healthy client‐owned ponies (n = 101) and horses (n = 51). Methods Prospective observational study. Breed, weight, height, and subjective and objective measures of BC were recorded and l‐lactate and glucose concentrations were measured. Correlations between l‐lactate and glucose concentrations and BC were established. The association between l‐lactate concentrations, equid type (pony or horse), BC, age, and glucose concentrations was investigated using a multivariable model. Results Weak but significant (P = .001) negative correlations were detected between l‐lactate concentration and average BC score (r = −0.29), heart girth:height ratio (r = −0.27), and age (r = −0.27). Glucose concentrations were significantly (P |
