[endurance] Is this horse a good endurance prospect?

After a long search I have finally found a horse that appears to have promise
as an endurance prospect. The pluses are good size(necessary for me), good
bone, manners, and training in dressage--I communicate better with a horse
that talks that language.

The downside to this mare is the fact that she has been used primarily in a
show and lesson program. She has had no trail experience that the seller is
aware of and is quite up front about it. The mare has a great trot and good
canter and seems willing to please. I have taken quite a few show hunters and
exposed them to foxhunting. They meet their first water puddle with
trepidation but I haven't had one yet that didin't eventually handle it
fine--TBs in particular. My question is -- whay can one expect with an
Arab. This is a straight Eqyptian coming 9 yr.

Would appreciate comments.
