RE: [RC] Sorough Cup photos location - Karen StandeferI'm not so sure that these are weak pasterns you're looking at so much as they are what happens at speed in deep sand. That is why sand is particularly hard on the suspensory apparatus. These horses are obviously conditioned for doing lots of miles at high speeds in deep sand. But, it certainly illustrates well why you want to do LOTS of conditioning before doing a fast ride in deep footing. I'd like to see the horses at rest rather than moving.

However, if you go to ridecamp's homepage, then look to the right and down a bit, you'll see three boxes of photos. The Sorough Cup (Book fair?) is the top box. Click it. On that event's homepage, click the photo on the upper right to access the album that had most of the shots I noticed. Pages 3, 4, and 5 are most illustrative of what bugged me. I suppose these horses have to be much faster than those used for scrambling around mountains, so maybe the weird spindly legs and weak- looking pasterns help with speed??? In any case, I don't have any experience with that kind of horse so am wondering if speedy horses used on flat races don't break down with this build? I'd love to discover the pasterns hold up as my Leo's pasterns are more sloped than I'd like. mkk =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
