Re: [RC] Angie - worthwhile discussion involving sitting trot - Truman Prevatt

Not to mention a very supple back which most of us don't have after a certain age.

    I think you will find, that most people doing this sport aren't as
    healthy as you may think they are. Many go out and ride, while
    suffering from multiple aches and pains....Angie included. There
    is nothing wrong with the dressage work in endurance, we all could
    benefit from it, but what I think that Angie is referrring to was
    the fact that some newbies may read this and *think* that they
    could sit the trot, without the training and not do damage to the
    horse during a long ride. If a person is so physically unable to
    stand or post for long periods, most move on to a gaited breed in
    order to keep riding. There is nothing wrong with that.
    Long distances and sitting trots just won't get it in
    endurance...IMHO.
