Looks like I've got a jump on you boys. I have a 20+ yr old mare who  
I utterly adore. She qualfies for Hell Bitch status on occasions but  
lives to move and was the push to get me interested in endurance in  
the first place. She's never done a ride but we've probably  
accumulated a lot of mileage just seeing what is over the next hill.  
I bred Dory to a purebred Egyptian Arab stallion about 10 years ago  
and got....Xerox!  Actually named Nazeer, but he was a copy of his  
mother. His father had a reputation for somewhat bizarre behaviour   
at times and went by the barn name of Ganan (Crazy One), so having a  
copy of Dory was just fine.  Her next foal was a pasture accident  
whereby the very young son of her best buddy, a grey Anglo Arab now- 
gelding called Nayzak covered her in the sneakiest fashion and  
produced....The Return of Xerox.  Fagr is now four and will be  
started under saddle soon but promises to be a darling boy.  Now  
neither of them are quite the character that their mother is but they  
are essentially identical except for the arrangement of white socks  
on a chestnut body. The boys are actually a bit of an improvement  
over mom in one sense...they take much better care of themselves.  
Dory's never had any sense of self preservation.

Cheaper too.
