Our average winter lasts to about mid april-ish. it also can get down to -40 c on a cold day but on average its -25 c (and it takes foreverrrrrrrrr for them to shed as the weather stays cold for so long). Each horse is an individual, and some will always be faster than others. this may be down to natural ability or conformation, which cannot be altered. however, a racehorse can be '"fine-tuned" by changing its diet, rider and fitness program to help it reach its full potential.. "power is the disease. care is the cure." *?quick tip?* love neverwinter and need to travel faster? well now you can after you get your first horse fast!.
