Really? When I worked at the track every horse I saw "I bet he'd make a good jumper" "That horse has the butt for barrel racing" "Look at that trot! Now that horse would be great for dressage!". Ya, the trainers didn't like me much.
Any standardbred I've ever seen that has been retrained for riding has gone on to kick some serious butt! They just need to be given the chance, and unforunitly they rarley are.

Appy-I've only done one distance ride before (have volunteerd at a couple). A 15 mileage ride and WOW did I ever have a blast! I through together the most comfortable thing I could.
I couldn't imagine what would have happened had I wore that anywhere OTHER then a distance ride. They didn't look twice-I fit right in!
Cowboy boots, $9 breeches, and knee high rainbow socks.

UGH how dare you Appy. Now I miss the trail riders. *Kicks self* why did I have to buy a giant that won't fit down most trails?!

P.s.
I have an assumption about the distance folks. In my limited expierence, I found the most knowledgable riders were the ones with the craziest coloured tack and wackiest outfits.

(My 'S' doesn't always work. I promise I'm not referring to anyone as a hore. Unless I make it clear that that is my intent.)
