On this subject one must remember that breeding an endurance horse to an
endurance horse does not give you an endurance horse. Champagne, AERC Hall
of Fame and the only mare there in, was bred to several very successful
endurance stallions. Each time she produced wonderful steer roping horses!

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.
