I think icelandics, most good ones, would be great NATRc horses tho!
But that is based on finesse and good trail habits/sense and altho
timed, reasonably timed where a horse can walk, trot, gait, walk etc
and not have to be hot and lathered up a lot of the ride... I think
my Stonewall would be a good candidate for an endurance horse, he is
so hot hot and loves to go. But unfortunately that type situation
makes him insane with excitement and he is useless except as a suicide
horse. I always tell my husband if I was ever going to kill myself I
would just sadlle up stonewall and take him on a endurance ride with
lots of arabs. I took him on a trail ride with a bunch of barrel
racers once and they took off showing off at a gallop from 500 yards
ahead of me and he bolted, caught up, passed them and beat them all by
about 500 yards. I soiled my depends needless to say.
