Optimal Training Surfaces for Racehorses: Tarmac vs. Grass/Sand
Question hello sir, would you make your racehorses trot on tarmac road for a mile to make their joints fit?
Answer Not my choice in training methods. I would rather train on a sand or grass surface. The best thing for joints is slow progression to speed. A 2 min pace (30 mph) is where the joints and cannon bone will take the necessary stress needed for proper development needed for racing.
