I agree Truman..not sure what the fuss is all about..! Who cares what 
distance, or how many rules you want to abide by, (as long as you abide by 
the ones you signed up for)..???

I have never done anything but endurance..in fact, only twice have I even 
done an LD..once on my own horse, and once on a client's. We are blessed to 
have such great access to so many miles of trails and so many people to ride 
with that I don't feel the need.

This does not make me better, or inferior to anyone else..period. I take 
good care of my horse, and ride safely, period. That is all that does 
matter.
