Training Traditions
For centuries Equine pursuits have focussed on the "connection" between horse and rider. Success was measured by the rider's ability as a "horseperson".
The potential of a horse was measured by it's appearance, it's skills , it's ability to jump, it's ability to run fast or long distances. Even for horses being trained specifically for endurance, little attention has been paid to the physioligical parameters, which today are transforming the standards of human athletic performances.
