Re: [RC] Endurance - longevity bloodlines... - rides2farWhat are some bloodlines known for producing endurance horses with longevity?? I believe it was Kat who pointed out that 2 of Les Carr's crossbreds & a mustang showed great "longevity" indicating that there's possibly a higher percentage of horses who stand the test of time outside the Arab breed, considering the percentage of Arabs involved in the sport. Is it possible that *people who don't ride for speed* are what increases the longevity, and they're more likely to be the types to compete a non Arab? I don't know about the mustang rider in particular, but isn't Les pretty much a "completion only" kind of guy?
