Re: [RC] Maybe shorter is better ;) - Barbara McCrary

You are NOT wrong.  Two of my best horses have been about 14.2 or 14.3. The smaller one knew what a race was about and could run like a scared rabbit to the finish line, if there was a good reason for it.  If I had a chance to place 2nd instead of 3rd, we'd try for it.  And at least a couple of times, we did.

Yep there sure is, it goes just like the ones about dogs.  It ain't the size of the Dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog that counts.  I'm pretty sure that goes as well for horses.  I could be wrong, But I'd doubt it.  Smiley emoticon  G.Affleck

So here's a question - is there a hard and fast rule about horse size/weight vs. rider/tack weight?
