Re: [RC] Proving Stallions - Quentin & Libby Llopk s swigart wrote: Steeplechasing (or as you mentioned something like fox hunting), would probably be a better test for the required temperament and trainability necessary for an endurance horse that a flat track race horse just wouldn't have. However, steeplechasers are usually not "proven" until they are older either (and few of them are stallions--although probably more steeplechasers are stallions than fox hunters are). We foxhunt our Andalusian stallion. He may be "too valuable",but really.. I don't keep horses to put them on a pedistal under a glass bubble. Last monday I rented him to a visitor from Texas and we ran 20 miles on various foxes and coyotes.For a picture look in the middle of the 6th down on the right http://www.gvhphotos.com/html/terhominor.htm Libby =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
