How Much Weight Does A Race Horse Lose After A Three Mile Race?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    If a horse runs with a speed of 4 to five meters per second then it consumes about 25 liters of oxygen per minute which is about 40% of its maximal uptake. In a 1,600 meter race or one mile race, a horse loses about 5 and 15kg body weight, out of which 90%  is water. Now you cane estimate how much it can lose in a three mile race.
