 [RC] hard roads - Jackie CausgroveI don't think that one can make a fair comparison regarding what a dressage rider is attempting to do (and the need for a perfectly groomed ring) and what an endurance rider may do.  It's like a gymnast and a long distance runner.  Can an Marylou do what she did on an uneven surface etc...   
What the 2 equestrian disiplines have in common is horses not the goals of training.  Thus, one is comparing apples and oranges.   
Just a thought.
