Re: FW: [RC] horse sizes....etc - Dyane Smith

My experience is that, while they may not be quicker, a smaller horse can
kinda scrunch himself up to the point that he seems to almost disappear out
from under me.

But, I also think there are variations.  My 15.1 guy was not quick.  Most of
the time I just fell off because I do that.

like a bigger horse can be easier to stick with through horsey antics!


It doesn't that always follows. While a smaller horse might be quicker,
it's antics are normally not as powerful or as fast as a bigger horse.
The lever is longer on a bigger horse when it spins and you are on the
end of the spinning lever hence you are moving much faster.
