Re: [RC] What Arab lines are good for endurance ? - rdcarrieGenerally, the CMK lines tend to excel, as do some of the Polish horses and some Russian lines. That said, I would not rule any horse out strictly on his pedigree. If the horse you're considering is well-conformed, and has a good head on his shoulders (I'm referring to sane, not necessarily "typey"), then I'd consider him. I have an Egyptian gelding that I'm riding right now. I'm a CMK fan, and already had a very nice young CMK gelding who was going to be my main horse. I bought the Egyptian gelding a year ago on impulse, as a "backup" horse. He was farther along in his training, and I've been doing rides on him while starting the CMK. He's been doing extremely well, has great recoveries, very forward on trail, loves the sport, is fun to ride, and has turned out to be a very nice horse. His sire is a halter horse, dam is old Egyptian lines. I would not have looked at him had I been looking at pedigree alone. But he's got good pretty good subst
ance - good bone, very nice feet, could use a bit longer hip, but was fun to ride, and I *really* liked his attitude. So I bought him. :)

Hi all Looking for some thoughts on what Arab lines do well in endurance. I am considering purchasing a nice gelding - from what I can gather he is of the Egyptian lines, with halter lines on top, and more performance on the bottom (not high-action performance, but more flat moving, like western).
