Re: RC: What Horses Will Endure

Sharkee is a good, level-headed endurance horse, as I can attest from 
a few hours together with him on the trail at Manzanita!  His gaits 
looked comfortable too.  Hope he finds his person; he deserves to 
continue with a caring owner.  Isn't he the horse you did Tevis on 
this year?
