"...Bottom line is a quarter horse
will never go like an Arabian and they need to be ridden differently due to
their mass and cooling issues..."
I agree 100% on the cooling issues,
but there are QH's and there are QH's. Skeeter, who was speed QH, would
routinely trot at 10 mph. His record was a 15 mile loop in an hour and 10
minutes or so. His overstriding trot was something else.
