my 10yr old daughter rode her welsh/QH appie (POA sized) horse on the same
ride, and was really upset when she heard some of the Arab owners saying "you
shouldn;t take that fat little pony on this ride". Well we passed up 9 other
arabs to finish 7 and 8 out of 18 riders..... with all A's on the vet checks.
Just make sure the horse is in condition to do the ride, have fun, and be
safe.
