Don't pay any attention to what other people think. 
And wear your helmet!!!  A friend of mine went on a wagon train and
she was the only one wearing a helmet and she was the only one to have
an accident on her horse and landed on her head!  (This is an extremely
experienced rider, by the way.)  Thank goodness for the helmet. 
Other people will be interested and you can explain about endurance riding
to them.
