I like how you think, and wish more would do so - get them out there in big fields, running, twisting, uneven ground and slight hills, developing all their muscle groups (versus being walked and trotted on a machine), developing agility, cardiovascular ... trouble is the risk to investment (obviously there is indeed risk when they get big enough to be fast enough to really hurt themselves and each other, the colts start sparring, etc), let alone risk even a scar.

Very good point about being hothoused since the tender age of being a weanling, though.
