It would depend on *how* lean he is.  If he is very fit looking and
has the overall conformation and movement they are looking for, he
should do fine.  I'll bet yours will be the most fit horse in the
class ;-)

 I wonder if anyone has shown their Endurance horses

Tell me it ain't so . . . . . pleeeez.  The sporthorse in hand has
been the light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of people who are
fed up with arab halter and are yearning to see actual conformation
judged again.  I certainly hope "they" don't find a way to ruin this
class also.

Anyhoo, we will be there to cheer you on with your buffed/ripped/fit
endurance athlete !
