I wonder how many horses' lives have been SAVED by endurance...for
instance "Red" who was headed out for dogfood and if he hadn't made an
endurance horse would have been in a can? My horse certainly wouldn't
have earned any ribbons for standing quietly in a ring and giving them a
slow collected trot. I  think endurance has saved many an endurance
minded horse from a life of abuse at the hands of those who wanted
something a bit more lethargic. I think endurance is a godsend and our
problems, though sometimes serious are confined to a minority of the
riders.

Hear, hear!!!!

Something else we endurance folk can rightly be proud of is the
QUALITY of life of most endurance horses!  If I am ever reincarnated
as a horse, I pray that it is as an endurance horse!!
