I think that what "we" mean when we say any horse ought to be able to do a 25 miler "out of the pasture"... is that a horse who isn't specifically conditioned for endurance, but is ridden on trails as a part of their regular lives, should be able to do 25 miles in 6 hours. Cindy

I'd like to see the statistics of those who start a horse right out of the pasture that are still competing years down the road.
