That is true, but from my limited experience with Impressive bred horses
of any breed, they are too heavy muscled to even begin to do endurance,
this includes short distance too. Also, the ones that I have had
experience with--I had an Impressive G. son for a while, have been around
several more that I would not have owned!--they are not bred to be
rideable. They are not the easiest horses in the world to keep sound.
samm--hating the faction that loves those Impressive lines!!
