Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Define terms
It'd be helpful if jargon (e.g., breakdown) is defined. It's not clear on context. 2600:1012:B04F:8497:D472:AFC6:F2FE:D4DA (talk) 20:50, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Suggested areas for expansion and sources
One area for expansion would be covering newer methods for identifying at risk horses (eg. advanced imaging [Paulick Report article, journal article on fetlock imaging, [[doi:10.14264/c3b3065|study on use in Queensland]], study on CT validation], biomarkers [journal article on serum biomarkers in 2- & 3-yos, Polish biomarker study, mRNA changes in response to 2yo training, mRNA study], and biometrics [stride data study, study on identifying gait abnormalities, Paulick Report article]).

Epidemiology and types of injuries could be expanded upon [CHRB postmortem reports, Stover paper on epidemiology, Stover nomenclature and classification paper, Ontario postmortem findings], as could the pathogenesis of stress fractures [journal article, study on subchondral bone fatigue].

More could be said on the association with jockey injury [journal article].

There's much more that could be added to risk factors, including more on medication use and injury risk [journal article on corticosteroid use, journal article on intrasynovial medication use], more on training methods [Hitchens meta paper, Australia training methods study, bone turnover response to training] and training/management of young horses [review paper on training young horses, turnout practices in young horses]. The Grayson-Jockey Club's annual data on sires and soundness could be added to breeding and genetics.

Official organizational response and changes that have been instituted around the world would also be relevant (eg. HISA, IFHA Welfare Committee, etc.)

Prominent examples (fatal and non-fatal) might also be relevant (eg. Mill Reef, Ruffian, Dark Mirage, Barbaro, Go For Wand, Maple Leaf Mel, Eight Belles, etc.). TabbyLadrona (talk) 16:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
