Hi

I am interested in the answer to this question too. When I first logged on
to this sight I had aquired a weenling which is 1/4, may be more, Arabian.
Her finished size will probably be in the 14 + hand size, you never know.
I had in mind, preparation for an endurance type horse/pony. (of coarse
things can change with the direction we are taking)

A comment was made to me "O she has long pasterns, probably won't use her
for endurance." (person is a QH barrel background) Thought it was an
interesting comment. Guess in my opinion the pasterns would be
average-to-long, for part Arab. Upright but not too upright. Certainly not
hot dog long. She is built very nice. The next 3 years can bring alot of
change. Her back ground is Welsh, QH, Arab/bay
I would like comments good or bad on this physical type and breed type
(have a lot to learn before endurance riding) and I promise not to take it
personally.....

Thanks
