<< I think any Arab with 4 legs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, etc and good basic
conformation (which most have I think - Arabians are a pretty uniform breed
compared to QH and TB, for example) is an endurance "prospect" (whatever the
heck that vague word means <g>) - whether his daddy was Bask or the little
Arab stud down the road. >>
OH my! Perhaps so, if one stays away from the show ring. They all have 4 legs
and 2 eyes an a tail in the air and so on....and a plethora of pathetic
conformation totally unsuitable to any athletic endeavor...and this is being
propagated through breeders aching for that halter champ. No, just any
Arabian as described isn't a prospect, IOHO, after 2 decades in the show
ring, and seeing what it has become. Nevermind the mental aspect of these
horses. Give me Backyard Barney anyday!
