Trying to think and name them today:

1. Exercise physiology component of performance,

2. Human element of performance.

2a. (edit) Talent.

3. Nutritional aspect of performance.

4. Husbandry impact of performance.

5. Shoeing.

6. Horse training--i.e. getting the animal to do what you want done. Motivation is part of that, but, much more.

7. Horse conformation aspect/stride style/identification of distance for the horse.

8. Understanding competitive cycles and ebb and flow of competition in general terms of momentum but also that certain identifiable components of this affect confidence and response.

All I come up with on the fly. More consideration.

Training: Thurs. 4/28. Morning--horse gallops at a limp to feed bowl. By evening am unable to see a limp. 10 min walk under tack without a limp. Fri morn. slight limp at walk. Bandage due to be removed.
