Arab crosses

[Sue Brown <sbrown@wamedes.com>]

During my hunt for the "perfect" horse (for me <g>), I've run across a lot
of different Arab crosses.  Would I would like to know, from all of you
wonderful, knowledgeable people, is...

What would you consider, if you were to take the best features and dominant
characteristics of each breed, the better crosses with Arabians for a *long
distance* endurance horse?  (Which crosses have shown to be successful in
the past...or have the most potential for producing a horse that could be
competitive?)  Which crosses would be towards the bottom of your list?  

Before I get flamed ;-), I know that there can be good crosses resulting in
any breed...but if you were a gambler and had to pick your order of
preference without seeing the horse, which crosses would you start with?
What about categories...draft, warmblood, pony, etc.?

Sue (who never thought she'd know this much about Arabians, bloodlines, and
performance histories!! ;-))
