I think it's the implication that 25 miles isn't "real endurance" because 1)
it is called "limited" distance and 2) is not in fact, as you pointed out in
your other post, considered "endurance."

When in actuality it requires less limits and more endurance than 99% of
anyone who ever got on a horse.
