I think you're both right. Sure your horse prefers a flat smooth
surface to work on. So does any jogger. But he doesn't "know" what's
best for his legs, he just knows what's easiest. If concussion/impact
wasn't a critical factor then human running tracks would be concrete
or asphalt instead of a rubber surface.

By the way, race horses are trained, conditioned and raced on the best
of surfaces these days. The planning, work and maintenance that goes
into their surfaces is impressive.

I dont buy that theory. My horse prefers to stay on the pavement as
opposed to soft shoulder. You try running on the soft shoulder and
see how easy it is. Stocking up could be a result of many things. If
my horse has to stand in a stall after a work out he will fill where
if he is turned out he doesn;t

When doing alot of trotting on hard packed roads, try to stay on the softer
shoulder.
