<<Yes, humans have been getting larger ... but at a cost. How many
6-foot marathon Champions have you seen? How many 6-foot figure
skaters or gymnastics Champions? Only in sports where sheer bulk or
height is a part of the game (like football and basketball) is "big"
an advantage for humans either.>>
I'm with you Joe! Tiny Hinies unite!
I also agree on horses...Sky is a small, musclely mountain climbing
fool. Agility with stamina.
Houston OTOH, has awesome confirmation & is almost 16 hands & is by the
book more correct. He is half Arab & is not NEAR as coordinated. To look
at the two side by side, you would probably pick Houston size or not based
solely on his more correct athletic confirmation. But the truth is Sky is
the better athlete.
My guess is that the bulk he has to haul around is what makes the difference.
