All truth!  My David has as good of bloodlines as you'd care to
see--Aramus,Naborr, El Paso, Melon, Celebes, Czort--just to drop a few names
from his pedigree.  He cost me $1200!  The second point Tracy made is very
important!!! You are buying an endurance horse--not a pedigree. As anyone who
has followed my posts for a while on this list knows, I knew very little about
Arab bloodlines when I was looking for a horse. I did know a fair bit more
about conformation, and approved David's build before I ever even looked at
his papers.
