Athletic performance in horses is determined, in part, by their capacity for energy production in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial phenotype is dependent on genetics, diet, and exercise. Matching mitochondrial phenotype to athletic performance goals has the potential to improve performance (Latham et al, 2022;  Anim. Front. 12(3):6–14. https://doi.org/10.1093/af/vfac023).
