[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 135985, member: 539"] Although I've never ridden a thoroughbred, I would have to agree with J. Quarter horses and paints tend to be shorter bodied and shorter-strided than a thoroughbred. As they were intended to be racehorses, a thoroughbred has longer legs, thus a longer stride that would probably throw off the rythm(sp?) of someone used to a shorter-gaited horse. I don't know that it will be easy to adjust to while riding all three, but I'm sure it could probably be done. You may want to consider just riding the thoroughbred until you get a feel for his/her stride, then I would think it would be easier to adjust from horse to horse. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
