Re: [RC] Arab/QH as a distance horse? - Joan RuprechtCheck Ruprechts in the statistics, we have had any number of quarter horse Arab crosses (nearly all mares of course) and they have done excellently. at all distances, including multidays and Ride and Tie.

Hi all, I want to breed my Arabian mare, to get a foal from her for me to keep and raise as my next distance horse (sentimental reasons). My mare was injured so I have retired her at age 12 to be my forever pasture ornament. I do not ever aspire to be a real die-hard contender, doing 100 milers (well, maybe I'd try it once...) but do want to do 50's. I also just ride for pleasure, and might try my hand at reining in the future. Was wondering if there are any Arab/QH crosses that are excelling in endurance or CTR, or does the QH blood add too much muscle mass to make the horse able to handle distance well? Have my eye on a very nice paint stallion..... :) Input appreciated. Thank you!
