Training Speed Appropriately

Plow Horse, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred (Race Horse) you can’t train them all the same. They all have different inherent qualities that must be taken in consideration. Too often I am seeing Thoroughbreds being trained like Plow Horses with extreme workloads, heavy sleds & heavy lifting. Never forget we are what we train to be. Also, something I learned many years ago – It is much easier to make someone slow than is to make them faster. I was a master of that early in my coaching and with myself as an athlete. You must train fast with high quality to be fast!
