Has anyone done any controlled experiments on horses under laboratory conditions like they do for elite track and field athletes?
Perhaps if they measured things like strength, muscle type, heart recovery rate, breath recovery rate, and other things along those lines it might be possible to at least demonstrate that current horses are either superior or equal to those of 10 or more years ago. From there you could at least make a logical leap if not quantify it exactly.
