Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Slow, steady progression of exercise levels in a conditioning program is also fundamental in building mental well-being in an athlete. Carefully planned and well-executed conditioning regimes are essential in establishing confidence in an athlete. This confidence, in turn, helps to form the basis for the kind of drive and desire we often recognize in human and equine athletes as "heart."... A young race prospect should not be expected to compete with seasoned horses, and the novice cutting horse shouldn't be asked to hold a really tough calf. Confidence is a fragile quality and must be protected in the new competitor.
