Re: [RC] riding a non-arab means riding smart - MisticalRide

I have got to ask, what is Dino? I looked up his ride record, and being a bit "arab-centric" my jaw hit the floor.

  From the first time I got on Dino's back, I knew he was NOT an arab.
That meant I had to think about how to ride him so as not to hurt him
but also to be able to complete rides.  He does take longer to reach
optimum condition, but I agree with what Alison reported her dressage
friends are saying: the longer, slower conditioning is actually good.
And since I'm happy to enjoy every minute out on the trail, it doesn't
bother me if we have to go a bit slower.
