I’m not disagreeing that there’s a certain body type that does better. - would I go looking at halter bred arabians for an endurance horse, eh…not I.
I’m not arguing the fact I believe that arabians/arab crosses are the best at the sport.
(to date) who knows, in 20 years it may be something else. same as appies ruled endurance for a short while -
All my statement was, - if you are going out to try it for fun, and do an LTD, to see if you like it… sure, take a heavier blooded horse - any fit horse regardless of type should be able to manage a 25 easily. I wouldn’t be saying, you MUST go buy an arabian to ‘try’ the sport- is more or less where I was going.
