It was the brainstorm of Boyd Zontelli and I suppose he just got tired of 
doing it.  All it did was prove that any horse, no matter what his breeding 
was, could do endurance.  And while some horses would be recognized as 
reigistered Arabs, or Morgans, or whatever, people with grade horses could 
say they had registered endurance horses.  Nowadays, there are so many 
horses, with such vast numbers of miles to their credit, that the registered 
endurance horse idea seems left far behind.
