This is tough because we don't all know each other and assumptions can lead 
us in the wrong direction.  Deanna,I'm not a romantic on the subject and my 
complaint on shooting the mustangs comes from the history of some folks in 
Nevada who take the problem in their own hands and have shot at (mostly 
just causing painful wounds)and chased the horses with ATVS over cliffs to 
kill them. A quick,clean kill with a bullet to the head doesn't bother me 
at all.Unfortunately,this is seldom the case.I included my short list of 
mustangs who'ved excelled in endurance just because I knew others would 
jump in and add more and because I think those who might not think of a 
mustang when they're thinking of looking for a "prospect" might be 
encouraged to check one out.Of course conformation  and suitabilty is the 
bottom line and there are great endurance horses from nearly all 
breeds.Just don't write off a mustang.After 25 years in this sport(and 
yeh,by everyone's definination I'm a REAL endurance rider...but we won't go 
there here!)and having ridden almost all arabs,I'm looking forward to 
starting a new chapter with my mustang in 3 years.Always the optomist!Love 
this sport!
