You might look at a Morgan-Arab cross. Most Morgans have terrific bone and 
substance, and are a great cross for taller Arabs. I have a half Running 
Quarter horse, half Arab. She is very beautiful with the best characteristics 
of both breeds. I ride and drive her. I have never endurance ridden her but 
she handles trail riding and driving distance very well.
