[RC] This is one enlightened vet! - JonniI write this to call your attention to the difference between riding a horse 50 or 100 miles at endurance pace, and the fact that Mustangs tend to wander around, grazing, looking, rarely covering long distances at speed. Can you possibly compare the wanderings of a herd of Mustangs with the efforts of an endurance horse covering 50 miles at speed?<<< Lets not forget. Those that went lame, got slow, and were the ones that natural elimination took care of them, thus taking them out of the gene pool. Can you say "eaten by carnivores"??? Why do so many of the barefoot folks want to compare wild mustangs to captive horses asked to carry weight, and ride down the trail a bunch of miles??? No comparison!
