Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.1919 Changing minds about breeds - ChipnmlEver since I read "King Of The Wind" as a little girl, I've been hooked on Arabians. When I was doing dressage and combined training, my instructor told me I'd never be successful unless I used a Thoroughbred or Warmblood. I told her I'd rather stay at lower levels with an Arab. So I found a beautiful 16 hand Naborr grandson that looked like an Anglo-Arab. The trouble was he was dull in the dressage ring, and a not-very-talented jumper. So what do you get when you take dressage and jumping away from combined training? Yes. Endurance!! He is now 27 and still loves going down the trail.Chip
