That was my experience also the two times that I took Harca to high altitude 
rides (one in the Rockies and one in Utah).  HE didn't have ANY trouble -- I, 
however, was dying and gasping for breath.  Trotting your horse (especially 
when he's frisky) for the vets takes on a whole new level of challenge that 
way!!  Too bad the human part of the team isn't as adapable :)
