Actually, it's one more step in a long chain...  Such as the gene in 
Appaloosas (present in some small percentage of the breed--about 12% AIR) for 
a "different" type of hemoglobin that has a higher oxygen dissociation curve. 
 Horses that inherit this type of hemoglobin clinically run higher heart 
rates at work as they have a more difficult time "unloading" oxygen at the 
tissue level....
