Hmmm, I'll come to the point of looking for a second horse within the
next 2 years probably, so I already thought about it a bit. For sure you
can be lucky with a 1000$ horse and unlucky with 10000$ one.

I hope I'll find what I'm looking for in between. I want an endurance
horse that lasts 10 years or longer, so there are some facts I'll
consider that hopefully lower the chances of not succeeding.

Should be an arab, around 3 years old, not ridden yet.
Parents, grandparents and/or other relatives should have competed
successfully in endurance riding or races, means I don't want a
beautiful horse that comes out of show lines for 10 generations ;-)
Should be grown up outside or with paddock-access 24/7 preferrably on
rocky terrain, hopefully with the right amount of food.
Good, straight body.

Well and some other facts like mare, preferrabely brown, ... but they
are not that important.

I might be lucky with a horse like that, at least I think these facts
would give him/her a good start. So I think you can kinda breed for
endurance, but there are prolly not enough people willing to afford it.

Sorry for my poor English, it's not my native tongue.
