The number of variables in this sport are large and I suspect at the end of the day there is not one best type of endurance horse. In truth endurance is not one sport that requires one type of horse. It is a multitude of sports - depending on the climate and terrain that requires a multitude of different talents in a horse.

That is true about track horses - some do well in mud, some on turf, some on a dry track, etc. But we don't say they are different "types" of flat track horses, we say they excel under certain conditions.


If flat tracks aren't considered different sports depending on climate and footing, which do require different talents, why would endurance be considered "a multitude of sports" when there's different climate and terrain. This is so frustrating! Do we have any studies which would support one point of view or another?
