[RC] FW: [RC] Does size matter? (re: cannon bones) - Ginny Holsman

Mary,

A horse is built well for endurance depending upon how you ride. For each style of riding, there is a different build that is best. Even in endurance riding, there are many different types of endurance riding, and many different terrains, and many different ways to go about riding those terrains.

For example, some people like a horse that has a very long walking stide which covers more ground, longer, with less energy, than the way that many horses trot; while others prefer a horse with a long gaited smooth trot, etc. The type of build that has a long stride walk is very different from the type of build that has a smooth trot. So it depends upon how you ride.

(Why am I expecting jokes rather than answers?)
Are there any stats out there that prove that Arabians with larger cannon bones fare better than those with slimmer legs? Any anecdotal information would be interesting too. Also, what is desired ratio of cannon bone to forearm? (Someone told me Salima has great forearm to cannon ratio and I'm not sure what that means. She also said she has "great bone" and "a wonderful short back", "a lovely head and really cute ears". I'm glowing.)

Mary K.
