[RC] Choosing Between Horses - rides2farAs for your other horse, how do you know he'll never be a contender? I started Kaboot out sponsoring a slow horse with a junior. After 2 years with him pacing himself with the slow horse I was convinced Kaboot was natually slow. Then we started going alone and he picked up a little. Then we did a 100 and low and behold when I went back to 50's he was a speed demon. I just bought a new horse/pony (he's a 14.1 Arab). I don't think he'll be especially fast on 50's but I have hopes that he may have a chance at placing if he ever makes it to be a 100 miler. Some things that don't matter much to make top 10 on a 50 really help in a 100. By the way, I couldn't decide between him and another horse and after I asked the advice of several ridecampers I went with their concensus..."Buy both". >g< NEVER ask horse people "which one", they'll talk you into both. (The other one's Josie's now) Angie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
