[QUOTE="Horse Guy, post: 546370, member: 5753"] Its not just about the horse being in proportion to the rider. Its the way the horse is geared. Im no expert on heading or barrel horses but the top ones are bigger than say a cutting horse. Ive got TB crosses that will blow the doors off of your average QH. But even just for getting from point A to B at a walk my longer legged horses will get me there faster. So IMO there better for covering miles or stuff like pasture roping. There are many disadvantages to long legged or just plain bigger horses. If your riding on extreme hills especially snow covered or wet and muddy slopes your average horse (pony)can do a better job of it. Your ponies are going to have an advantage in sports like cutting and your bigger horses are always going to dominate the 2 mile race track or sports like show jumping. [/QUOTE]
