My first 50 is at the end of the month, and I (seriously) plan to go 
slow on this one.  I'll let you know.

Hoping for the tail -end award,

Just because someone tells you that your horse isn't "fit" for
endurance...doesn't mean it isn't, it just means your horse isn't fit to be
"their" endurance horse! Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish
with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS!
