[RC] Age to get 'em working - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== No doubt those facts are correct,but we don't refrain from putting a young human through hard work or exercise before they are fully mature in the expectation that we will thereby optimize their physiques for later performance.Quite the opposite. And of course a horse costs a lot of money to keep for all those years.Chico the Rebel was green broke and put to work,too hard,chasing bird dogs,as a 2-3 year old,and he's been doing it ever since.He was about nine when I got him.At almost 19,he has great endurance,with maybe one problem in the right hock.I treat him as well as I know how to do. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
