[QUOTE="Alan, post: 168151, member: 378"] I have riden some draft crosses, haven't seen one yet that didn't have a very wide back, plays real havoc on the hips. Yes every breed has it's exceptions, but just because the horse is packing around 350lb doesn't mean it has to be a draft horse cross, to big guys like me (who may have a few extra lbs, but a long way from being fat), I kind of take it an insult when someone suggests a draft horse cross. Mules pack a heck of alot more then 350lbs. Dan Blocker (Hoss) didn't own a draft cross, nor did James Arness. 350lbs isn't too much for any horse of the right size. I do the vast majority of my riding around the ranch and on the trails surrounding our place, really none in the show ring for me these days, what someone considers a work horse is a matter of opinion ;-) . Why ride a buckboard when you can ride a cadillac. ;-) Alan [/QUOTE]
