Maybe, Tom. My guess is, probably, a combination of both. I think the
older horse's tolerances to changes in either or both exercise and feed
may be less, or at least different, than those of a younger horse.
However, that's just a guess based on my personal experience with age
vs. youth in both humans and horses.
