Your farrier is absolutely correct. You should sell this horse asap and
get yourself a horse that doesn't have this problem. I would be willing
to take him off of your hands since he is flawed. Contact me privately
and I will let you know where to send him ;-)!
He can join a few of my flawed horses that have sub 30 heart rates -
one a good endurance mare I had to retire because I wanted to breed
her. Another her daughter and a third a horse I will be starting soon.
Why do I have them, I guess I am just a sucker for trying to show that
such flawed horses can make endurance horses ;-)!

Our
farrier was out yesterday and suggested a product called Red Cell for
one of my geldings. Here I was thinking that a standing rate of 24 was
just great for a future endurance horse - he says that's too low for
any horse.
Any ideas? Is this horse not a candidate for endurance? He's 5 years
old and has never had any major health problems that we know of, we've
had him since May of this year. He's been doing a lot of shows and
equestrian team with my daughter and I hoped to start him in endurance
soon.
