But there would be a cost, to start with. The title of the thread is crazy ideas. I dont think this is actually that crazy. Just thinking about the animals at the expense of money for a year.

A wise man told me about a rich guy who tried this idea back in the 60's. The guy bred and raised his own horses, left them in the field until the summer of their 3 year old year before they were broke. He then waited until 4 to run them. Guess what happened? They all popped splints and bucked shins like 2 year olds!
