Intensity training IS quite different than other training

say, the horse can't tell us directly how they're
doing.
...and, coupled with "galloping up hills", the bio-mechanical extremis
encountered from the hoof up to the fetlock, as well as in the hock/stifle area,
one will certainly find out quickly enough if enough "base" has been achieved in
cardio-vascular or in the physical platform.
One will also find out whether they know what the heck
they're doing as well.
As Mike says, "being careful" is of paramount importance
here. BUT, it (I.T.) can (and should) be employed when the horse has
progressed to that point.
