Re: [RC] Newbie - and a question - Sisu West Ranch
Ride what you have. There are many successful
QH on the trail. My first two endurance/CTR horses were a QH and a
paint. Expect to have to do more 6 mph miles in training, their bodies are
more set up for sprinting. Expect to have to pour more water on them to
cool them on hot days. Expect to find that if the ride is on a really cold
snowy day, you will finish much higher than you usually do. Expect to find
that the hillier the ride the higher you finish.
If later you replace the QH you will probably want
to look at Arabs and part Arabs. That is years away. Enjoy our
sport.
