Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.0887 Hidalgo - Barbara McCrary
One of the fastest horses I've ever ridden was a
14.2 Arab. Small size, great will to race. He just loved a race to
the finish within the last 1/4 mile or so.
When I saw the trailer, I laughed a little to hear the Bedouins
scornfully say his horse was too small. As compared to
what....Arabs? Maybe they're trying to ride the coattails of Seabuiscut
by playing up the little horse against the big ones, but we Arabian owners
know better, eh? (not to cast aspersions--in the light of political
correctness--on any horse over 15 hands). We distance riders know
it's not the size of the horse, but the depth of its heart. Still, I
will go see it, and hopefully enjoy a good story, knowing it is fiction.
