Re: [RC] Competing Standardbred's in Endurance - Barbara McCrary
Some years ago, Roger Yohe of the west
region competed on a 1/2 Arab, 1/2 Stbd. very successfully. One of our
daughters' first horse and her first endurance horse, too, must have been a
Stbd. He had no history, ho papers, but he was a trotting fool and
everything about his conformation, head and ears said Standardbred.
Subject: [RC] Competing Standardbred's in
Endurance
I am replying to the woman who asked about competing Standardbred's or
part Standardbreds in endurance. Both my girl friend and I complete
them. My is an OTT Standardbred who raced until he was 10. He is a
big boy, 15.3H about 1100 lbs. He is a cool weather boy, does best when
it is damp, cold and rainy, my favorite weather. He has 200 endurance
miles from Maine to Maryland this year, and we are middle of the pack
finishers.
My girl friends horse, also a Standardbred, has about 300 endurance miles
and is mostly a top 10 finisher. He is smaller and lighter than my guy
and blows our doors off.
