Re: [RC] big butts on endurance horses - Jessica Spoone-Raines

My Casino is a qh/arab mix and I too love that cross. Morgan/arab and qh/arab are my 2 favorites *types* of horse. Casino isn't as heavily muscular (actually looks old style Morgan) as my moms cow bred qh but man you put him on a mountain and hang on. With his push power he will go up and over anything no matter how steep, and all this carrying 250+ lbs. I think the originals of every breed are quite beautiful but that the years of showring activity have ruined a lot of them. As pointed out, 1400lb horses with size 00 feet that get out of breath just walking across the pasture are not attractive, at least not to me. I want a horse that I can use and use hard when needed. Not one I have to wrap in cotton and set on a shelf to look pretty. Thats what Lenox is for.

Personally, one of my favorite horses of all time was a cross between
Arab and QH.
Just general observations based on a lot of years with a lot of horses. And I still haven't had the experience that some of you out there have had.
