Re: RC: Fwd: RC: Arab or TWH/or any other breed/P&R criteria

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

Actually Misty (a 100% TWH standing about 16-2) in top form can and does drop as

fast as the Arabs even running at a sub 4 hour 50 pace.  This didn't happen
overnight but after the proper training and about 600 miles of rides, she was
there - pulling in and at parameters within a minute or two.

It doesn't really matter to her if the pulse parameters are 68 or 56, because by

the time I got her in she is usually at 52 or so.

So it is really the horse.  While 9 or 10 Arabs can go out and do a 8 hour 50,
how many can do a sub 4 hour 50?

This really a silly debate.  If you like the horse and it has the basic physical

abilities, does the breed really matter?

P.S. I've seen TWH's that blow the doors off QH's in barrels.  My neighbor's
daughter rides a full Arab in barrels and does quiet well against the QH's.  So
the bottom line is it is the horse.
