[RC] Gaited horses in endurance - Mike & Laurie Hilyard
Wow, I never realized I was on the crest of a
rising wave. I just thought I was trying to put a few miles on a
not-ridden-enough horse. I have to confess, though, that my arthritic, 45
year old knees didn't hurt much at all after getting off Buster.
Maybe I won't sell him. . . but I sure do love my Arabs. It is
interesting, though, because I am not, nor do I aspire to be a top ten finisher,
so a fit gaited horse would suit my goals (milage) just as well as a fit,
trotting horse. If only I didn't have to work to support the horses, and
could just ride them! Then I could justify keeping all of them.
Thanks for all the advice from those of you riding gaited horses. I
will probably try it at Tin Cup. Thanks again!
