Distractions
Having posed a difficult last question, distractions again, though distractions worthy of note. In this case some amazing websites. How big is God. Really really big, according to this.

And, how smart, which becomes relevant reading through this one:http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/index.html

Two great websites I thought worthy of some ink, and tangentially relevant as it's interesting to me the manner in which these first rate scientists create hypothesis on very little solid info. But, now here its back to horse bones, and indeed I have bumped into another significant, and I might add--supportive of the conclusions on this blog--bit of research, that will be discussed soon. And, believe I've reached a conclusion as to whether our exercise program will affect calcification/ossification of bone.
Training:
Wed/Thurs 11/25 &26: The running paddock still useless due to caked mud. In ideal conditions for it, we conducted two pasture romps harder on my old bones than the horses, but, some riderless speed work after a lay off and they were steaming after the one today, Thanksgiving. Tore up a good bit of the track getting this in, unfortunately.
Tues. 11/24 Off due to Rod's heel bulbs. He is reshod.
Mon. 11/23: Art is walk-trotted for 10 minutes on very wet pasture, and then run riderless in deep mud for 10 min. Rod has torn off two front shoes and torn both heel bulbs somewhere and is off.
Sun. 11/24: Decided one more off day.

Interesting T-Nation article I ran into:
"
...In the first talk, a student shared data on the best ways to gain bone density and bone strength with weight training. Traditionally, we've assumed that total mechanical tension is most important, but new data shows that the rate of loading also matters. Faster development of loading means better stimulation of bone growth.
Here's something else I didn't know: We now have data on how much rest is necessary for bone cells to re-sensitize for further growth. It appears that eight hours is sufficient for some osteogenesis to again occur from a successive bout, but it takes 24 hours to achieve a 98% return of mechanosensitivity.
I should mention that the bone remodeling doesn't just occur at the places where the tendons insert. New bone tissue accumulates along the midpoints of long bones, such as the femur, where tension is also high.
For optimal bone growth, you want to include back squats, leg presses (depending on the machine type), deadlifts, and freestanding upper-body exercises. Plyometric movements and Olympic lifts are also recommended, since those offer the highest rate of force development. You want to use a minimum of 65% of your one-rep max, and limit total rep counts to 50 per exercise per workout.
