Looking for a horse -- PNW

[Sue Brown <sbrown@wamedes.com>]

I have a student who's mother just gave me the "go-ahead" to look for a
suitable horse for the daughter.  The daughter is 12 and has been taking
lessons from me for over a year...and her main interest are endurance with
a smattering of dressage.  She rode with me last Sunday in some fairly
challenging terrain and handled herself very well on a conditioning ride
that lasted about 5 hours.  She talks about doing the Tevis some day so the
horse would have to be one that would have that potential.

So....here's what we're looking for: Arab or ArabX gelding, 14.3 to 15.2h,
5-10 years old, started on trail work (not totally green), good legs, feet,
back, personality, etc. <g> with potential to do 100 milers and dressage.
She is particularly enamored with color and would really like a Pinto
Arab...but she does acknowledge that the color is the least important
factor on her list.  The horse will be living in my barn so I will be able
to help her along.

If anyone has any info that might aid me in my search, please email me.
Catherine's birthday is Oct. 13th and this is to be her birthday present
from her folks.  Thanks.

Sue
