i *may* have the oportunity coming up soon to get a coming two year old arab colt for free. he is beautiful, with a great temporment, and comes form the kimosabi (sp?) line. he is slightly cow hocked though. does this really matter that much? i mean, for trail riding, i've rode plenty of cow hocked horses that moved out just fine, but i wonder about for long distances? i don't plan on breaking him for quite awhile, my friend raises arabs and says they should be broke later, like at 4. just wondering if i should be looking at him as just a trail horse, or as possibly an endurance prospect? i don't currently ride endurance, but have always wanted to, just havn't found the right horse. i have two arabs already, a polish/egyptian cross, and a crabbet, but neither are suitable for it.

thanks for the upcoming input :)
