Well, Angie,  I think that most of the reason people even like 
endurance at all is because of the special connection they have with 
their horse (not to mention the beautiful new ground they travel...).  
And whether you are riding your beloved friend or not, you are still 
achieving these two things, as well as working together with your horse 
to cross the finish line healthy and happy.  So whether you are leading 
your horse or not doesn't really matter.  Kudos to those riders who go 
through the physical pain of jogging down the trail right next to their 
horse while giving them a break from carrying a load... I wouldn't 
criticize them at all.
