Yes, and please let us know what ride you're entered in 'cause I'd travel a 
fair distance to see somebody ride a Zebra on an endurance race.  Don't 
forget your crupper...those little devils have NO withers.  Also,  a muzzle 
wouldn't be a bad idea -- they BITE.  And, be sure to wear your body armor 
because they'll kick anything that doesn't kick them first.  Your strategy 
should be to start out first because if you start out behind anybody they're 
going to beat you.  Most horses (in my experience) will run like heck when 
they see a zebra. You should seriously consider starting your zebra in NATRC 
because you would probably win every ride -- all you'd have to do is hang out 
at the obstacles and blow the other horses' minds -- easy win.  Good luck, 
you may be on to something.
