As long as there are no soundness or safety
issues, I'd say let him go as fast as he wants--but keep him out
there until he asks to slow down on his own, however long that takes.
*Hi
Dabney; I too have done my share of "boogeying" down the trail....and have
seen a lot of problems and damage done by just letting them go, if that is
what they want to do.
I
doubt Alan's horse is really legged up to be allowed to go as fast as it
wants, but could be wrong.
How
would you handle a young horse that loves to go,but not legged
up?
I
have "done the work" to get to the point where the horse IS legged up for
faster work; but it can take miles and miles and several years of ponying, so that you CAN
control the speed .
