I've ridden both a Morgan and an Arab for the past
few seasons. You do not need an Arabian just to ride and complete.
If you really want to win the Arabian is the
best choice, BUT if you are just starting you
really should not be trying to win. Learn to finish before you try to
win.
It's too easy to make a mistake
You can learn to finish on any breed as long as
it's a
sound individual and you know its
limitations. Don't let
people tell you you can not do endurance on a non
Arab.
Last weekend I rode my 17 year old Morgan Mare on
the Wild West Multi-Day in Grass Valley,
California.
When we finished Day 1, she had completed Endurance
Rides in 12 consectuive season. The the end of 3 Days
we had successfully finished All 3 days for
the 4th
year and brought her lifetime mileage to over 3600
miles.
