Can My Horse do endurance? Answer!

Can your horse do endurance? Well If you have to ask the question the answer 
now would be NO. But if you consistantly LEARN, Train, and work hard give 
him/her a few months, then plan on getting the turtle award. I would answer 
yes your horse can do endurance. I look at it like this. Take the horse you 
have get them good and ready to do a slow ride and see if you like the 
sport. If your horse does well you may have a horse that can do endurance. 
But, You may not like all the stuff that goes along with it. If your horse 
does poorly and you still like endurance riding you may want to sell the 
horse or get another. Instead of asking the question I have a draft horse 
can he do endurance, or I have a mini pony can he do endurance. All horses 
can do endurance, but how WELL he does is another subject. I would 
reccomened to everyone if you think you like it GO crew and learn. If You 
can tollerate crewing then try a ride a SLOW one. But know your horses 
capabilities. I would not take Haley or Ansata on a ride right now. They get 
tired right now after six miles!! I can probably get Ansata in shape in 6 
months to do a 25-35 1 year to do a 50 and 1 1/2 to two years to do a 
hundred! I don't like to push training. I like for them to think it is all 
their idea!!!
The horses that adore and completely trust their humans will go go go until 
they either fall down dead or die with exhaustion. You haven't anything to 
loose other than you will know more about your horse, meet some great 
people, learn a new sport and say I did that! You will either like it and 
get adictted or you will hate it. I will say this Weenies not apply!
Carla (Endurance riding..It aint for weenies!)
Ansata (huf huff huff what another mile.. is she tryin to kill me?)
Haley (she is nuts no endurance for me watch this) *owie owie my fut hurts 
mom owie owie*
Rob (Honey Haley is having mystery pains again!)
