Naked Collagen Fibrils

Returning now to Planck there are important distinctions between naked collagen fibrils, coated fibrils, HA mineral blobs, extra fibrillar mineral reinforcing rings, self assembled fibril arrays, all as sub micronic structures presumably applying to our equines. But how? Planck Institut is measuring these structures, determining their elastic properties and hence strength, leading to further surmises that strength at the electron microscope level relates to properties such as

orientation
shape
distribution and
degree of mineralization

And, since in reading this blog you are familiar with the various physical forces acting on our cannon bone, i.e. various derivatives of "concussion" you will thus recognize the importance of:
.
"...extra fibrillar mineralization considerably reinforces the fibrils properties in the transverse directions and the fibrils shear moduli."

That's where I was. Some numbers, next post.

Training:
Wed. 1/13: 13 min riderless in deep snow. 1/2 mile heats unevenly, as fast as they could go in spots.
Thurs. 1/14: After 3 days of workouts we rest with a lot of melted water on the ground.
