The longest time I ever spent was 18 miles on the Black Rock 
Desert...completely repetitious and monotonous flat dried mud with the heat 
reflecting up from the ground.  I was on an energetic horse, too, and riding 
with another rider, so it wasn't lack of company or just the horse being 
lazy.  The moment we left the playa and went into the sagebrush, the horse 
came alive and ziipped along.  Amazing difference in attitude.

animals, that is what endurance riding is to us.>>

If this sets you apart from others and brands you as "different", then count 
us in.  We feel the same way!
