Snail's Pace

Here is a puzzle for you all to figure out, answer is on the bottom, but don't peek until you've given up, or think you know the answer!

Ever since Roy and Dale signed on at the Friendly Dude Ranch, the two cowboys have been in constant competition. For their next day off, they've planned a race to the river to decide who has the better horse. Frank, the foreman, who's had just about enough of the cowboy's bickering, decides to teach them a lesson.
"Okay", says Frank, "you can race, but the one whose horse takes longer to reach the river wins!"
  Not wanting to turn down a challenge, Roy and Dale agree, but since neither wants to cross the finish line first, they spend the whole day aimlessly wandering around in circles to avoid it.
  Long after dinner time, the cowboys, no closer to the river than when they started, cross paths and admit they're tired of this contest but don't know how to end it. The ranch cook just happens to be passing by and offers them a solution. Within seconds Roy and Dale are racing as fast as they can to the river. What did the cook say?


He said to switch horses
