Dr David Marlin is a scientist with more than 25 years experience in biochemistry and physiology. He started off at the Stirling University in Scotland studying physiology and computing from 1978 to 1981. Finishing his degree David went on to train with dressage coach and rider Judy Harvey a fellow of the British Horse Society (FBHS) and Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) International dressage judge. Continuing David then went on to do a PhD on exercise physiology at the University of Loughborough,1989, which is the leading sports university in the UK after studying “The responses of Thoroughbred racehorses to exercise and training” for 4 years in the world renowned Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, 1985. During David 's time here he

In David 's second year working for Luca Cumani, Luca Cumani had his first English Derby winner, who broke the track record at Epsom, Khayasi. David then went on to complete a study on the effects of road and air transport on horses in 1991 back at the Animal Health Trust. Following this David, in 1993-1996 leading up to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, carried out research on thermoregulation and transportation of horses. A result of his heat and humidity studies no horses got injured during the cross country phase on completion of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games(Horse Hero,2008). During 1990 to 2005 David was Senior Scientist and Head of Physiology at the Animal Health Trust. David specialised in Exercise physiology, training, fitness, performance, nutrition, thermoregulation, competition strategies, respiratory and cardiovascular physiology and disease and transport (Marlin, 2014; IEBWA, 2013). David became a member of the World Class Performance Scientific Advisory Group in 2006 when it was created and worked as an consultant of the British Equestrian Teams from …show more content…
He is the author of “Equine Exercise Physiology” from Blackwell publications (Marlin and Nankervis, 2002). This book has enabled the equine industry to understand the scientific reasoning behind training competition horses, what occurs through the physiology of the horse during exercise and through that what training methods work and why some don 't when your horse is
