Each time you move even one step, it is training for the horse and/or yourself. Any ride out of the yard is conditioning of some kind. All distances are a pleasure, training, and conditioning, and endurance is in the "eye" of the participant. Sometimes the fun just lasts a lot longer. If it's not fun, maybe you're not doing it right, what ever the distance, just keep riding till it gets fun.
