Re: RC: breeding/moyle horse/akhal teke

[Linda Flemmer <bluwolf@earthlink.net>]

Frank Farmer here in Virginia rode a moyle in the ROC.  I believe that
his family still has some moyles or moyle-arab crosses.   They had
substantial builds and an eagerness to get the job done.

I seem to remember that they worked a bit harder to cool the moyles in
hot weather, but maybe someone from the Farmer/Baird family can jump in
on this one.

A friend of mine in Virginia is starting an Akhal Teke...  All LD last
year.  I don't know enough about the breed's use in endurance to
comment.  Steph Teeter & Julie Suhr have some that have done well.
