The percentages of 3 muscle fiber types in the biceps femoris and triceps brachii were determined in 5 breeds of horses: Belgians, Standardbreds, Thoroughbreds, Quarter Hourses and Welsh ponies. Biopsies were taken from the 2 muscles from each of 4 2-yr-old untrained fillies of each breed. Percentages of red, white and intermediate fiber types were determined from tissues stained for succinic dehydrogenase activity. Intermediate fibers were the most numerous for all breeds. The difference between red and white fibers varied significantly with breed. Thoroughbreds had the highest percentage of red fibers and Belgians had the most white fibers.
