Wouldn't this vary according to the type of course you are riding?

Not that I'm going to argue since my horse with the greatest mass is the 
one I would pick as being the most athletic on a more technical trail, but 
not the one I would pick for being the fastest on the flats.

Do the larger horses I see that are taking longer to recover taking longer 
because they are larger or because they are carrying more weight?  (oh 
geez, that's a dumb question, isn't it?)  duh.  <bg>
