In the past there have been a lot of topics about what to do with the 
endurance 
horses besides trail riding.
Has anyone used their endurance horses for drill team work?  If so, how did 
it go & 
where did you find information (websites, books) about the subject?

Some friends of mine formed a "War Horse Foundation"
http://www.warhorsefoundation.com/
to provide "historical impressions" of what horses did for us humans in wars 
over the 
ages.  They use their endurance horses and do periods from Middle Ages to WWII.

Before I moved to Nebraska, I rode in a 4th of July parade (dressed in 
Revolutionary 
War uniforms) and then went to an historical re-enactement event with them.

They have an ongoing Drill Team, and are always recruiting.  There are some non-
endurance people involved, I think it gives a good impression of our "Crazy 
Ay-rabs".

They have also been invited to participate in the Rose Parade this New Years!  

You might write them (contact info on their website) to see what they know 
about Drill 
Team info.  The Canadian Mounted Police have a pretty cool video too.

ps  When I used to work the Rose Parade (Humane Society Volunteer) I met 
several 
endurance Arabian horses in Arab Costume participating in the parade too.
