In '96 after we did ROC I decided it was time to breed my mare (TWH). 
She was 15 and the old clock was running out. I had bought an Arab to 
replace her. He passed two vet exams with flying colors. He was not an 
endurance horse - I knew it after 3 months of conditioning. I sold him 
after a couple of rides. He's now owned by a lovely young lady in St. 
Pete and loved to death by her.

I was bestowed my wifes Arab, a.k.a. the Jbird when that happened 11 
years ago. The Jbird is a wonderful horse. We are a decade team. He 
keeps on trucking. However, he can't hold a candle as an endurance horse 
to the Hell Bitch - who if anyone missed the fact is a TWH.

So just because it is an Arab doesn't mean it's cut out for the sport. 
There are good endurance horses of many breeds. You just have to find 
them and know them when you find them.
