Call yourself what you want--our bylaws do not define riders, they define rides.  You may be an "endurance rider" who simply has never done an "endurance ride."

 

As for dressage, those of us who have never ridden beyond training level do not try to pass ourselves off as Grand Prix riders.

 

Additionally, not everything is parallel from sport to sport.  Terminology relationships from one sport may well not fit another sport.  Life just isn't that tidy.
