Re: [RC] [RC] Arabs/ Mustangs - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== you will never change my mind, that wild horses, Mustangs would make better endurance horses. << Then why on earth would you expect those of us who love and ride Arabians to change our minds? Do you think that your passion for your horse is stronger than ours for our horses? Do you think you're unusual in riding and handling a horse without tack? Many of us have done that for decades. And with Arabians. Arabians have been ridden in the Rose Parade sans ANY head control. And I used to go all over the trails, along & across busy streets, etc on an Arabian with NO tack whatsoever on her (and, like you, I trained her single handedly myself as a teen/pre-teen). These days I do prefer head gear of some sort on my horses (at least a halter -- which gets me enough odd looks as it is from most folks) when we hit the trails. For their and my safety. But, I'm also one of those that loved the Arabian as a breed long before I got involved in distance riding. If I had loved another breed prior to getting involved in distance riding, I'd likely continue with my breed of choice even if they had extra challenges to face for the sport (as long as the individuals were suited so that it wasn't actually detrimental to them). I'm just lucky that my breed of choice is the Arabian. Hands down. No contest. Of course, I also figure this thread was started to get people angry. It's called trolling. Especially with no signature. ~Nicole =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
