[RC] Attracted to Arabs by Endurance - Nancy SturmHeidi's got it right - again! After 40 years with other breeds first TB's and TB/QH crosses and more recently Welsh ponies and cobs (because I thought I was too old to ride), I purchased my first purebred Arab exactly because the folks where I was boarding a cob were having so much fun riding endurance - and they almost never have to go around in all those circles I spent so many years trying to keep perfectly round. It's been a really long time since I've had so much fun on horseback and years since I've had the excuse to log so many miles. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner. When my husband told someone in the feedstore, however, that I was interested in endurance, she said "Oh, yeah, endurance horses - all go and no whoa", her perception of a sport she hasn't been a part of.
