You forget one thing. Begals are hounds. Hounds have a mind of their
own and nothing in that mind is programmed to listen to anything a
human says. So I suspect unless you want to go running corss county
through the brush chasing rabbits instead of the others in the
endurance race - you better find something other than a hound dog.

I have a really well-conformed beagle...well, it sort of looks like a
beagle, but anyway, he eats and drinks really well and even though none of
my saddles fit him, I'm totally sure he'll make a fantastic endurance mount.
Granted, my feet will drag on the ground, and he might get a sore back, but
sheesh, I won't need a trailer or even a truck to get him to a ride, and I
can pack enough puppy chow to hold him over for a month.
What do you think? Has anyone ever ridden a beagle in endurance?
