A Variable Horse-Drawn Trainer

For centuries, people have trained race horses by making them pull heavy weights. But after Mehmet Kurt lost a horse due to overtraining, he decided to create a training vehicle that was safer and could be adjusted for individual training needs. Natalie Avon writes in Popular Science:

The horse isn’t pulling the four-and-a-half-ton, $427,000 vehicle. Rather, the vehicle keeps pace with the animal, and trainers fit the horse with equipment such as an electrocardiogram machine, oxygen masks and movement sensors to monitor its performance. They can then subtly regulate the horse’s speed for optimal training.

This becomes some modern version of such an overly over-designed supermachine that costs zillions to....
push a marble so it rolls a few inches or something like that.

The new training vehicle are is very helpful for the horses,because some the trainers use their horses to pull heavy weights that might affect them a lot. This new training vehicle helps them a lot. Thanks for the information.
