    Re: [RC] Horse size, Rider Size, weight, trivia, training and observations - Ed and Wendy Hauser


    I agree with your points completely, especially about outcrossing breeds
    giving more vigor.  That is one reason I like to ride half arabs.
    
    I don't think that, until your post, that this thread made a sufficient
    distinction between horses large for a breed, and horses more like the
    average for  a breed.
    
    I really have no idea  long it takes various breeds  to mature, but it
    bothers me to see young QH, TB, and other large breeds receiving high
    calorie diets as weanlings to 4 yr olds and ridden hard before 5.  That is
    just asking for them to break down.
