I have ridden several NSH in endurance
and I just love them! We bought one as a "trial" several years ago and
were so smitten by her, we bought more! We currently have 5 doing
endurance at the moment, and three of these are for sale
:)
Here is what I have found in the ones I
have had:
1. They are brave and do not tend
to spook.
2. They just LOVE to
go.
3. They are very
kind.
4. They have very fast
walks.
5. They are incredibly
smooth.
6. They trot like the
wind!
I have also found they are not as
"tough" as a purebred, ie they take a little more time to condition, and in VERY
competitive rides, I think an Arab would probably beat them out of a vet
check..maybe..
Basically when I want to go out and
just blast around and have FUN on the trails (my daughter and I love to have
trotting races) we saddle up the NSH. When I am going to do the tough
rocky Winding Stair ride this month, I'll take the
purebreds!
