I know I am being sensitive here, but my *Morgan* is in his 9th year of
competing...
He gets 2 cups of Tiz Wiz and oats and pasture daily and electrolytes at
rides. At 14 years of age, he is sound as a dollar and still beating the
pants off of the Arabs! By starting slow when he was 5 and knowing my
horse, we have had a long and successful career, with many more to come.
You don't need an Arab to do well in distance. Here in Ohio, we have many
non-Arabs who do extremely well.

Sorry if I sound snipity, but I love my Morgan...
