Before I got my field hunter, I used my main endurance
horse, Charlie Brown, as a staff horse.  He won all
the endurance rides that year because he was fit and
had those fast-twitch muscles fine-tuned.

I also hunt my Anglo-Arab and show both guys a little.
 I show the AA over fences also and do some sidesaddle
with them.  My leg is really too long to ride the
endurance boys aside but I sneak in a few rides just
for the fun of it.

They LOVE parades so we get all gussied up and I let
my friend's kids ride them in parades.

Whatever we do, whether endurance, hunting, showing,
parades, etc. we have FUN or we don't do it at ALL!
