All I've ridden since childhood, are Arabians. At the same age - I LOVE the
Energy! I can describe it: It's unbounding enthusiam! Or the
"trot-in-place", but at a foot off the ground, right out of the Spanish Riding
School - that's100% natural.

Riding a horse like that, doing distance, the challenge, is why I do
endurance.
