Might consider a gaited Morgan - that's what I ride and I get a smooth
comfortable ride with SPEED to go with. She also has excellent recoveries
and is always willing to keep going. My mare is 14.3 so she's maybe a
little smaller than you're wanting, but I didn't want anything I couldn't get on
from the ground and I'm 5'2" and a heavyweight. The comments I've
heard as we trotted past the Arabs was 'Wow, what a trot!'...she can definitely
cover ground in any gait and is very willing to keep going
regardless..
My wife is wanting to get a TWH to ride with
me and my Arab on 25 and 50 milers. Is the TWH a reasonable breed
for this ? Also would a 15 hand TWH ccool down more quicklly than a
16 hand TWH ? Thanks for your
input.
