No worries, if you got more questions I'll try my best to answer them.
- Yeah the bigger the horse the later their "peak" is usually. I remember a yearling we had at home that was the size of some 2yo and 3yo warmblood jumpers. He only started racing at 4 but was a very good horse.
- Sadly I have no idea which shoes that are. I do know that Don Fanucci Zet is still racing and when he races he usually is either barefoot or only has front shoes on.
- There is also pool training that is done often. But its the same with human athletes, a speed skater also hits the weights for strength, goes cycling for cardio. You gotta diversify your training.
