Re: [RC] Bask line as endurance horse? - Karla Watson
I am constantly getting compliments about my
double bred Bask gelding. He is very correct and bigger bodied/stockier which I
think the Bask line is known for. Although he can be a bit worked
up at the beginning of a ride, he is still young and will need to learn. He
is quite level-headed with VERY smooth gaits. I hear quite a lot that the
Bask horses are known to be hot, hot, hot. This guy is actually very laid back
after the first few miles. Wouldn't trade him for the world!

I'm looking at a 31/2 year old bey gelding as my new endurance
prospect and I'm looking for some input as he will be a long term project. I
looked up his pedigree and he has a lot of Bask in his bloodlines and I was
wondering if anyone has had experience with the bask line as endurance
horses.
We bought a young 3 year old
that was "halter broke" a bit of a stretch there. He has great big feet,
and big legs. A very good brain. He is just starting out, and goes
back to Bask several times. I absolutely love him. Fairly correct,
just a touch long throughout. He has done over 700 Endurance
miles. And he is pretty too!
