The last time I rode Mt Adams it was on the 100-miler aboard the Toad (an Arab); our riding "partners" were Paul and his Paso Fino gelding Pete. We leapfrogged the entire day, with Toad charging up the hills and Pete charging down them. It was a decent solution, but I've given up trying to match my standie with other horses for anything more than a training ride, because her strides are just too different. Sigh. (the exception, interestingly, is Dazzby--they were a pretty good match at HOTR last year!)<br /><br />Interfering in back: talk to your farrier about adding support to the outside of the foot to encourage Dazz to travel slightly wider in back. You don't want to change her "way of going" significantly, but a little adjustment may help her keep from banging and stumbling. It's worth a try, anyhow. --AareneAareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.com
