We all ask our horses to perform some sort of task. Factors that prevent your horse completing this task effectively and to the best of its ability are performance limiting. Some of these can be managed or treated very quickly once diagnosed.
Persistent coughing, abnormal breathing, poor muscle development, muscle pain, exercise intolerance, lethargy, poor weight gains are just an example of the possible factors affecting performance. It is not only racehorses or elite sports horses to which this applies. Anyone of these will affect reliance to hack or race; jump or event; to achieve what should be effortless to achieve.
Every horse and pony has natural ability although each will vary in this ability. Correct training in the discipline preferred by the rider determines the level of ability.
