Review Concludes

A few days of distractions. Back to bones. Nose to grindstone and finish this.

July 2010 for purpose of reaching final conclusions forwarded idea of "slinging" a single bone fibril against a hard concussive surface 240 times in simulation of a horse race. What may occur to the fibril during and after was broken down in detail. A few helpful ideas resulted.
Thereafter in August the subject became distracted by another thought that--the idea that calcium receptors within bone tissue would draw calcium salts to weak or areas and calcify (strengthen) them in response to exercise.

The conclusion was a little faulty as I reconsider: if all exercise stimulates the calcium receptor process then this is merely a "constant" in the overall equation. This, however, fails to specfically address the question of "minimum" quantity of exercise. I'll address that after summarizing my summary, as I am largely back to the present.

Training:

For October the weather has reverted back to what "normal was 6 or 7 years ago--mostly very dry with 1/2 inch rain every two weeks. And, looking as if this may continue! This has resulted i the horse condition wise getting almost back to where he was at the end of the dry month of August and before the Sept. deluge.

Fri. 10/22: After the warm up, about 2.5 miles riderless continuous very snappy. Probably :16s with some :15s. Horse was then trotted under tack for 1 mile.

Sat: 10/24 Off. Rain.

Sun. 10/25: riderless 4 x 4f fast as the "would" go, which was less than full speed for lazy Rodney. Sat. rain dissolved all my dirt clods. Need the clods to hurl at the horse's rear for full speed. Rod loses both about to be replaced hind shoes in mud.lost both hind shoes in the mud. + 10 min. trot under tack near dark.

Mon. 10/26: Off

Tues. 10/27: still needs the hind shoes. so, riderless slow. They did this so easily after all the speed work that riderless 4+ miles of this seemed little problem. Visualized the horse losing weight due to the volume. Starting to look race horse again.
