This is where the disconnect comes for so many.
These are thoroghbred horses...they are born to run...bred to run...they WANT to run. They are athletes like any other athlete in the sense of the wod. Its what they are on this planet to do. No different than dog species born to hunt or to herd or to point. Its just their instinct.
If you want to argue that its unnatural for them to run "tied together", thats fine and all, but the truth is even out in the pastures they will often gallop together or as a pack.
