Re: [RC] "Perfect" horse for heavyweight rider? - Elizabeth Walker
Mile 7? Boy are you lucky.... I've only done 2 50's on Caisson, and he has argued with me on speed for the entire ride. I've been working on dressage, and taking group clinics to try and get him over the "other horses - must race" mindset. I plan on doing a 15 mile "fun ride" this October as a 'brain check', but I don't plan on entering any more 50's until I can get him to listen. I'm all done having him pull my arms out (or just flat-out bolt) for the entire 50 miles.
