Horses 16 hands and over doing endurance

[Karen Webb <kwebb@GSSB.com>]

Okay folks, I posted a query yesterday about doing endurance on tall
half-Arabians.  By tall, I mean 16 hands and over.  I only got one reply.
Surely I can get more input than that?  Don't any of you have some big
horses?  And what I want to know is do they do well?  I noted that a 16.2
hand half Arabian came in 65th at Tevis and Ruby, the 17 hand molly Mule,
came in Top Ten.  Am just wondering if height is a drawback, especially when
it comes to P&R's, since you would collaterally have more mass; or it could
be a plus especially for a taller rider.  Since the two mares I have are
both half-Thoroughbred, when crossed with my Arabian stallion, that would
hopefully produce a tall half Arabian with increased bone and good stamina?
Any thoughts.
