[RC] re: Hallelujah 100 & best breeds for endurance - Mary Howell

Angie - 

Thanks for posting details of the Hallelujah 100 and other distances
for those of us who couldn't make it! I'm thrilled that Kyle finished
his first 100 and Wendy Mancini & her QH also finished..she is a great
ride buddy. (I wished I'd been able to hang with her at Big South
Fork 100, but wasn't willing to do more than 20 miles in pitch dark!)

Wendy's grey QH (2nd QH she is using in endurance) is called Dusty
Grand Bonanza and his muscles on upper front and back legs make Shiloh
(a 1/2 QH) look like a total wimp. "Danza" is living proof that even
a traditionally built QH can do well at our sport, if trained for it.

I also wanted to add to Libby's post on TBs in endurance that several
full TBs (not Anglo Arabs) have finished and even won the OD 100 over
the years. My first horse was a TB and he had the BEST temperament -
some of them are a lot less "hot" then the average Arab.

- Mary in VA (whose never thought she'd end up with narrow-built 1/2
Saddlebred for her "new" endurance horse)
