[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1805119, member: 42463"] The horses used by the PE were loping... not at a flat out run. But what gets me is that the thoroughbreds are running on prepared and relatively soft surfaces... and horses are often run outside of racing on some very questionable ground and they don't injure themselves nearly as often. Why is that? Are race horses more fragile? I doubt it. I've seen thoroughbreds raised outside of racing and they don't break down. They are just like other horses. I wonder if the horses babied on soft dirt tracks don't develop tough bones? I got no clue... Just wondering... [/QUOTE]
