Re: [RC] LD/Endurance - Chris PausJust because they CAN, doesn't mean they SHOULD! There's a big difference between taking a fit horse out and trotting through a 25 and taking out a horse from the pasture and coaxing and babying him through the ride. I've done the latter when my distance horse cut himself a week before the ride and it wasn't much fun monitoring the less fit horse and getting him through the ride. We got the job done, but it wasn't one of my favorite rides. chris Again, I agree that there are a lot of RIDERS who can't do it. But the majority of HORSES can!
