I think they can compete. Most of these examples above were middle weight
riders. I think the little extra size of the anglo is an advantage for the
middle weight and heavy weight riders. While you can find big Arabs, it is
very difficult.
Truman - who has been lucky enough to find two large Arabs over the past
two years. Jordy is 15-3 and Dan is 16 hands. While that is a step down
from the 16-2 hand walker, they are both big enough and strong enough to
carry my six foot 160 pound frame.
