Re: [RC] big butts on endurance horses - Sharon Levasseur

My Arab x Rocky Mountain Horse gelding has a big butt, and I love it.  :-D

Arab/RMH is a great cross!  He's 14.2h, 950# or so, and he foxtrots as well as
trots (trot has up to a 22" overstride).  He's got the spirit and intelligence
of the Arab with the level-headed smarts of the RMH.

Quoting Jessica Spoone-Raines <jspoone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

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.
