Well, I'm an oldie and a hard-core endurance rider, and I, for one, applaud 
you for doing both.  I wish ALL aspiring endurance riders would do a few 
CTR's--it is very educational and can be real eye-opener.  

The biggest mistake that endurance riders make in thinking about CTR is 
assuming that it is somehow just an "easier" version of endurance.  Nope--it 
is a different distance sport with its own set of challenges.  And there are 
horses who can cross disciplines very well, and others who are much better 
suited to one or the other.
