RE: [RC] blood lines - bobmorris

Title: Message
Rod:
 
You appear to have a goal in mind and considering that goal I would venture to advise that at the level you profess to compete, the horse is only a part of the equation.
 
Over the past 25 years of endurance competition I have observed many horses in competition. I have seen "fair" horses that were consistent top competitors and I have seen "excellent" horses that were consistently tail-enders.
 
There must be a full understanding between the horse and rider for entry into the top competition brackets. There must be a confidence established that the desired position is attainable. There must be a caring for the horse, on the part of the owner, so as to not exceed the physical limits in the heat of competition. There must be a well planned training program that will result in the necessary equine attributes.
 
Then there is the challenge that  I can take your discards and beat you after having the horse for 60 days.
 
Remember the old equine racing adage BREED THE BEST TO THE BEST  AND THEN HOPE FOR THE BEST. Because when it comes the horses IT ALL DEPENDS!

Thanks for your responses. Attitude is important. We have this walker that has a great attitude and a big engine. Seems she'll go all day. She doesn't no what tired is. But still she is a tennessee walker and a good arab with the same qualities will win LD. So what I want to know is which arab breed is the best of the best ! which one wins the most LD. The top ten.
thanks  Rod
