Re: RE: 'cheap' horses in endurance / no $ in owning a stallion

I own a race track cull. He will never be a World Champion, but he is a fine horse.

 

"Cheap Horse" I have never heard of such a thing.

Isn't that the definition of a cull?  A horse that isn't good enough for the job it's been asked to do?

Many go on to make wonderful endurance horses - even world champions.

You are not talking about Thoroughbreds I suppose, if you're saying "many" go on to endurance, unless you've got a lot of TB endurance horses in the SE.  Curious to know which world champion endurance horses were race track culls.  Thanks, Lif
