There is the 16-2 gangly Tennessee walking horse in the Southeast who has
won endruance rides and won best conditions and finished the ROC. There is
also a big stout appy who looks more like a barrel horse than a endurance
horse with almost 2000 miles and can be very competitive. So tell her to
go and have fun.
