My mare Rose, is 1/2 Arab and 1/2 Paint.  She has been the most solid metabolic horse I have ever owned.  I give the Paint horse part that credit.  She is very tough, and a great 100 mile horse.  So, I won't say Paints can't do it. She just may take a wee bit longer in the heat to recover....but she ALWAYS recovers.  :))

 

Jody and Rose....off to the OD!!!!!

Way to go Chrystal!!!! 

I also do not ride an Arab and I purposely selected a suitable horse for distance within the breed of my choice - American Paint Horse. Yes, registered Paints have QH or TB or a combo of the two, but now they are starting to close the books a little more so that one must have one registered Paint parent. I chose a filly of cutting horse bloodlines because they are not so heavily muscled and they are quick and athletic. We are just getting going this year but she eats and drinks well, travels well and takes care of herself, heart rates good. My attitude is that I will go as far as my mare will take me. Whether that be 25s, 50s or 100s. Other breeds can do this sport...alot of it depends on the owner.
