>As someone who rides only non arabs I have to say this hasn't been
the case with my horses. I've been at a couple rides where criteria was at 56
and my horses still came down. I've ridden three different non arabs at rides
so I don't just think it was a fluke.
I'd add that some of the poorest recoverers I've seen have been specific
Arabs, and that failure to recover goes right back to whether the horse is
working beyond his capacity--which in turn goes back (provided you have done
your homework and have ridden him wisely) to whether or not he is suitable for
the sport. There are Arabs and non-Arabs alike that are NOT suitable for
endurance!
