Re: RC: Padron lines for endurance?

[Bonita Young <corky@foothill.net>]

I have a Padrone son named Padre out of a Bask daughter.  When
I did endurance on him he did very well top 10 on a lot of multi day rides
1 win and 1 BC.  He was bred to be a park horse and had a lot of action
and was hard to post to in an extended trot but boy oh boy could that horse
gallop.  He hated the ring but loved the trail.  He is a very
smart horse and had great ground manners but was a real handful at the
start of a ride.  Padre is a true 15.3 hh, I baught him sight unseen
on his pedregree alone and was never dissapointed.  He is now 18 years
young, and hasn't done a ride for 4 years.  My disicision not his,
he is still sound and healthy.  I am a heavyweight rider and he never
had a problem carring me.  If you have a chance to purchace a Padron
son or daughter I would certenley consider this horse to be a great endurance
prospect.
