[RC] Adelante and EDPP - Dyane SmithOn 1/28/04, Karen Standifer wrote: I own the horse that Teresa mentions below (Adelante). He is completely sound. He encountered metabollic issues at the SilverState ride (however he did complete successfully). I had intended to do endurance with him. He vetted out perfectly. After I started conditioning him and travelling with him it became apparent that the horse is not endurance horse material. He moves well, is sound, but is an emotional basket case. He doesn't eat or drink away from home. His performance had nothing to do with his bare hooves. Karen, I'm interested in this because I have a horse like that. I had assumed that my horse is green and just needs more time in the saddle, more time on the road, more experience in general. Does Adelante eat and drink anytime you're away from home, on training rides, that sort of thing? Do you think of him being interested in CTR? Guess I just wonder what I might be up against.
