But man is she. I personally don't like to ride mares, there can be only one alpha bitch (guess I'm it) but Honey would change your mind. She doesn't look like a horse that can do 10 hour or less 100's, but she does. She is short, chunky, but tough as nails. Gee, sounds to me like the very sort of horse that I WOULD pick for the sport. And once again, the short chunky horse proves that that is what it takes. (Rio was kind of short and chunky, too...) Heidi Amen, Heidi. The gelding I ride is also short, chunky, but very solid (he's done reasonably well in his still-fledgling endurance career.) Lot's of CMK/Polish in his pedigree. At his first endurance ride, I had many friends come up to me and say, "That's your new endurance horse, eh? He's kind cute, but I don't know about endurance." Since his first ride he's completed 2 100's and didn't take the full 24 hrs to do it either (not too shabby for my short, chunky little boy!) I'd take a shorter, sturdy mount over a tall, leggy one any day (not to mention that I'm only 5'2"!)
