Re: [RC] [RC] Halfingers in Endurance? - Catfish Daniels

Haiving been raised in Germany in Bavaria, I've come accross quite a few of them. Back then I didn't ride endurance, but it was about the most common breed amongst our neighboring farmers and horse friendly friends. These horses have the absolute sweetest attitude about them - gentle, willing, extremely hard working - and most of all tough!. Not known for their speed, but rather for their work ethic as farmers used to use them a lot for plowing and pulling carts and wagons. They are a bit on the small side, but wide and stocky. Their cute looks go right along with their sweet personality. Hope this helps.

They are fairly small and kinda chunky, so I'd imagine one would have to ride
a little slower and they'd probably take longer to cool out and pulse down
than an Arab. But they are chock full of the "cute factor." I know someone who
has 3 that he uses to pull carriages, and they are adorable...soft thick
manes, etc. They look quite sturdy.
