Re: [RC] getting the horse fit - Heidi SmithYep, I think conformation is the major factor here. And the interesting thing is this ties into the "fast walk" thread because the very conformation that predisposes a horse to a fast, driving walk is the seems to be the same that predisposes it to being a good balanced horse going downhills. So again, it at least from my experience it all starts with a good walk. Ditto my own experiences, Truman. My "natural downhill" families have also been the ones that come "right out of the box" so to speak with a good overreach at the walk and able to motor right along. And needless to say, I value them in my breeding program! Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
