[RC] Pasos in endurance - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Julie S. js017k@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I've really been interested in the post threads today dealing with gaiteds, especially Pasos (as owning a Paso and riding endurance is what I hope to do in 5 or 6 years when I can finally get a horse...patience is a virtue, I suppose). Anyway, could some of the Paso riders out there post some stories/info about how their horses do in endurance, how they compare to Arabs, what portion of rides is spent in what gait, etc? I've seen a lot of helpful comments from ride vets, other riders, etc., but the best indicator of how pasos perform would probably come from experienced Paso owners. I gather that they do well enough in the LD rides, but what about longer distances? Dana B.- I'd love to hear more about your horses and where they get them, pedigrees, etc (just curious which lines do well in endurance). Could you post or email me more? Sundaez - I'd love to know more about your research into this subject. Could you post or email me with more info? As I'm the the online pages seem to not allow direct posting of email addys, please reply to me at js017k at mail dot rochester dot edu if you prefer not to post to the forum. Thanks to all who can provide input!!
