We have an Arab that's 15.2 and built like a tank, with heavy muscles, and 
he is a great endurance horse. Why not try your horse on a 50 and find out 
what he can do. Ride conservatively and carefully on his first ride.  If 
he's the bulldog type, endurance may not be right for him, but we started 
endurance in 1971 on QHs.  We finished!
