Re: [RC] Evaluating Potential 100 Mile Prospect - heidiI found my 100 mile prospect and she is being vetted in the next week or two. For those of you who have their 100 mile horse, what was the most important feature that your horse exhibited that made you think that they would be a potential 100 mile horse and did that actually turn out to be a good indicator that they were 100 mile material? BTW, this horse is not an Arab, but she sure looks and acts like one, including flipping her tail up and over her back. Someone else mentioned the willingness to eat, but also said there wasn't any good way to assess that until you are on the trail. Actually, I've had a pretty high correlation between horses that will eat well and drink well on long trailer trips as youngsters and those who will continue to do so on the trail. Obviously there are metabolic parameters that you can't judge just looking at them. But taking good care of themselves is really high on the list!
