==========================================

The way to make an endurance horse is to go to endurance rides.  Too often, 
people get wrapped around the axle about, "well, Endurance News says this.." or 
"I gotta have the right electrolytes"....or, whatever.  The way to make an 
endurance rider is to ride...whenever and wherever.  Being intrepid helps.  You 
don't have to be rich and have all the latest gizmos.  You just have to have 
enough "wanna".
   Endurance used to be about showing up to a basecamp, being greeted by the 
nicest folks, meeting more nice folks and, all of sudden, discovering this 
feeling starting to take over your body and mind.
   Excitement.
   Heck, even the horses sensed it.
   The basics of all that is "endurance" still exists.
   Find a way to get to a ride and slow your heart down a bit, lower your 
expectations and meet an old friend, make a new one and VIOLA!, Endurance is 
once again, just like the good ol' days.
   If you and your horse are prepared, go and have fun.  Forget about the 
awards, forget about the latest and greatest hi-tech tack discoverys, forget 
about I GOTTA "QUALIFY" for this or that...just go ride an endurance ride.
   And, if you got the horse and the horse has got the rider, you might even 
"wanna" race.
   Do a twenty-five, do a fifty, do a hundred or try (do) a multi-day...and 
VIOLA!...endurance rider...endurance horse.
   Endurance...it's what's for horses and riders.
