I understand, alot of horses get into jumping and LOVE it, and so do barrel horses.

but whatever goes up, must come down. do you not think that after so many years of jumping, horses legs won't take all that shock in their bones and tendons. do you think that is healthy , the impact, on their joints? their legs are not shocks, but very much flesh bone and cartlidge like every other equine out there.

and why does everyone have to compare everything to QH. can't you all just talk about ONE THING in it's own?
