Re: Horse too fast!!

["Susan Evans Garlinghouse" <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

Quentin, for some excellent articles online based on real research on
performance horses, check the library archives available at Kentucky Equine
Research.  I don't have their url, but just try ker.com .  It's easy to
read, all based on scientifically proven data AND experience.  They talk the
talk AND they walk the walk.

Good luck,
