because the horse "hits the wall" don't automatically think that he needs

if you've already got him to the point that he is not voraciously eating,
you've already ridden him past his capacity for that day, and it's time
to quit and admit to yourself that you haven't done enough homework
to ride at the level that you've been riding that

I think the above statements are very important to read...over and over,
again.
Some of us who have "hit the wall" in other athletic endeavors (running,
cycling) realize that (often) it is a combination of things that made us smack
our heads into the bricks.
Managing a focused conditioning schedule, eating right, drinking plenty of
water, and paying attention to some mineral replacement seems to work
for me.
Folks who "run hard" need to be even MORE aware of such things...or they
should slow down.
