Its easy to feel "behind" when the OTTBs that P-Dutty and Hawley Bennett are showing get a lot of the social media and sporthorse "press" coverage. But I think most OTTBs need a lot longer recovery and development time.

I'm thinking to do something like that with my mare, albeit more focused on one part of her body... good, steady consistent work changes a lot of things in a good way.
