The quality of movement that the horse has makes a huge difference, too.  The 
horses with long, low, easy strides are far easier on your joints (not to 
mention their own) than the horses with the big impressive-looking motion 
that thrusts you into the air like you are launched from a rocket and then 
hits the ground in a similar manner.
