Re: [RC] [RC] Presidents Cup Racing - Deanna GermanEver since Jennifer J. wrote a few days back that she was dissappointed that this is a terrible impression the world to have of "endurance", I've been toying with how to differentiate endurance as most of us know it from what happened at the latest President's Cup and the way the rest of the world is going. Face it, we lost the definition of the word "endurance" horse riding to them. Others are now defining the word for the world. He who has the most money for a publicity effort wins. As an alternative to naming their sport, how about.... All-Terrain, Limited Access Support (ATLAS) Endurance for the sport as we know it in the U.S. and elsewhere. An ATLAS is a vast collection of maps, it's a godlike figure displaying the strength to carry the world (now displaying my ignorance of mythology) and it carries with it the connotation of something that existed a long before anything now.
