Good topic.
I'm no expert or even that knowledgeable about equine physiology, but I would think they don't get enough physical training and exercise. Human athletes regularly workout. Even Tiger Woods trains 2-10 hours every day when not playing. (I'm assuming that's in addition to his evening workouts)
