Sure - I understand that.  However, this thread got started with a  
post about an Andalusian stallion that has never done endurance.    
Since Arabs are still the most prevalent breed in endurance, someone  
wanting to evaluate, say, the pedigree of a young non-Arab, or Arab- 
cross may not find any close relatives on the non-Arab side that  
competed in endurance.

My question was - what sort of accomplishments would you look for?   
And yes - I know it would be breed specific.  For example, a TB  
stallion who threw progeny that made good foxhunters would probably  
be a good proxy.  (Now -- finding out that information is a whole  
different question...)
