Re: [RC] The Reality of Weight Divisions - rides2farTrue, but Chris is a runner....he probably spent as much time on the ground> as he did in the saddle. HUGE difference.... Yep, but even within weight divisions heavyweights have to deal with this. They use it to beat each other too. It would be nice if I could get off and run...because, after all, my horse *is* carrying that 20% of his bodyweight (me) and Bruce's horse carries 0 % when he gets off. HOWEVER, I am a QH type muscled, and 5'1. Bruce is over 6' tall with long legs. I would slow a horse down. He may not. You see how many things there are to factor in? Maybe I'd be *willing* to get off and run, if I were BUILT to run. My not being built to run may be as big or even a bigger handicap than him carrying more weight. My horse never gets rid of me! It's a complicated world. Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
