Lysane,

The way I understand it...and I may be wrong...but the CTR folks  
wanted a venue to showcase good trail horses that could also be used  
for breeding. Meaning...if I have a horse that constantly bangs  
himself when he flings his feet around why would I want to breed that  
horse to pass on the trait. CTR rewards horses with proper  
conformation, good feet, willing easy temperament, good minds and  
athletic ability. Traits that you would want to pass on to the next  
generation to make good trail horses. A good trail horse and an  
endurance horse can be the same thing or a different thing. To me, I  
would rather have a good CTR horse that can do endurance then a good  
endurance horse that fails in CTR.  In my opinion, I think AERC  
should partner with NATRC and encourage novice endurance riders to do  
NATRC first. There are many thing to learn from the sport that makes  
you a better endurance rider and can help bring along young horses so  
that their minds are in the right place. They both are fun sports   
and I do both.
