[RC] Thoroughbreds - k s swigartJonni Jewell said: Just curious kat, as to why you don't use a pure TB for endurance then??? I know you are a good enough hand to work with them, and understand what it takes to get a horse fit to go down the trail....so, why don't you ride one? I do. Her name is Lady Marla. 1000 miles, multiple top tens, one BC, one overall BC at a multi-day ride, ROC and NC qualified, and a placing in the regional point standings (in 2000) She is, however, also the horse that put me in the hospital due to that little mishap at the Grand Canyon :). And jumped into (then immediately out of) an irrigation ditch on the 2001 XP. Since Mike Maul, who has had the opportunity to share the trail with us, is now down in your neck of the woods, ask him sometime if HE would ride this horse at an endurance ride....and why? And yes, she has classic distance horse written all over her pedigree; although, her mother was a faster than snot sprinter who ran her early fractions in 21 & change. I haven't been riding her recently because I have been focusing on my stallion (her half brother, out of the same mare; although he is an Anglo) who is doing his first endurance ride in a couple of weeks at the Duck's new ride....weather permitting :). kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
