What Makes a Horse Such a Great Athlete

One of my favorite classes at K-State was Equine Exercise Physiology. The changes that occur in a horse's body as they exercise are absolutely amazing. This video does a great job of summarizing how horses can run so fast. It does contain scenes from the dissection of a real horse, though, so be warned if such things make you queasy.
