[RC] Another thought about suitability - sharp pennyI'm am a paint horse person..have raised trained and successfully shown them for years. When I decided to stop showing and concentrate on endurance I choose to get an Ay-rab...why?...well with my job I can only ride 3 days a week MAX and I have to haul a min of 45 minutes to ride a trail which limits actual trail conditioning miles to once a week(sometimes twice)...my Ay-rab,Reno, keeps his condition easily on such a limited riding schedule ....as Angie mentioned,it would be unfair to ask a paint to do the same and expect them to stay sound over the long haul. I have gone a couple of weeks with out being able to ride and completed an easy midpack 50 with Reno..(I don't like or recomend doin' this but it was just one of those things..I started the ride expecting to having to pull but Reno breezed right through it) I can't imagine any paint being able to do this. So sometimes there are other considerations for choosing an endurance mount that new to the sport people don't consider. Regards, Penny __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
