Some are certainly hardier than others. Bay, I think, was one of those who never had a bad day when he was young. Easy keeper, easy athlete. That he has wear and tear now is just a function of his age and the inevitable wear and tear of that kind of conditioning. For every mile of conditioning, there is also wear and tear that will show up eventually.
Harley's been good in that regard, it's the saddle fit and pre-ride shoeing that's been your challenge. It's those gods you need to appease :~D
I guess:)
I think I have appeased the saddle fitting god:). He's not been sore so far, knock on wood. Please saddle god....:)
Just checked the weather for tomorrow...yikes. 94, and we aren't going to get started tomorrow till afternoon. Going to be hot.
