When observing a horse after training, which condition is not typically checked for?

After training, it is common practice to assess a horse for signs of lameness, heat, and swelling as part of a thorough wellness check. Lameness can indicate potential injuries or soreness related to the training session, while checking for heat and swelling can help identify areas of inflammation or strain in the muscles or joints, suggesting overexertion or the onset of an injury.

On the other hand, while appetite is certainly an important aspect of a horse's overall health, it is not typically checked immediately after training. This is because a horse’s appetite is not an immediate reflection of its condition post-exercise. Factors affecting appetite can vary widely and do not necessarily relate to the horse’s performance or recovery from training. Thus, while observing a horse for its well-being, lameness, heat, and swelling take precedence as immediate indicators of the horse's response to physical exertion.
