I've been reading with interest the comments about how fast horses adjust to 
heat and humidity. But don't forget that altitude changes are also a factor 
in a horse's athletic performance. Granted, I'm an endurance newbie, but I  
have a degree in agriculture (emphasis animal science and biology). We were 
taught that changes in altitude can have a greater effect on horses than 
simple temperature changes. What do you think?? Has anyone noticed this, or 
is this an example of a "fact" that doesn't apply in the real world??
Curious,
Jen
