damage eventually.

stop at a sliding stop? Or better yet, ask Alice how fast her 1000lb horse
can stop when he spooks. The problem is when the rider can't "control" their
horse.

order to stop like that or else the torque on their legs causes damage, so
I'm wondering if an endurance horse could actually stop on a dime like that.

In my experience (22 year worth) most endurance riders are great people who
will go out their way to help and be friendly.
