Yes, these are horses I have had for years. I will say if my kids were going 
to do endurance you bet I would go out and buy a solid riding horse over 15 
years old (I would not want anything younger than that) and I would pay good 
money for such a horse.  I would also highly recommend such a horse for 
inexperience riders. The over 15 crowd is worth it's weight in gold if they 
are broke and good minded. I have younger horses that are well broke and good 
minded but they are not perfect until aged like fine wine.
