Oh man - this is one of my top-of-the-list pet peeves. There's a lot more to endurance than going full out on a hot hot horse. Sometimes this type of horse just can't settle down enough to pulse down or eat or drink. Every time I see an ad that reads "Would make a good endurance prospect" I think "Oh yeah. Here's another one that's All Go and No Whoa." I realize full well that this does describe Stonewall at all, I think he's a very nice horse indeed, but a lot of sellers think if he's too hot to be a saddle horse, he'd be good in endurance. Nancy
