Have to disagree with you here Angie,

I know a lot of endurance riders who were soured by the show ring.
Had lessons, worked under good instructors and are now excellent endurance 
riders.
I also strongly urge anyone who is competing to take lessons.  I go for 
refreshers myself
if it's not just for the pure pushing.  I am an ex jumper so I take jumping 
lessons once every
2 years for about 6 weeks to whip me back into shape.  My instructor was 
grusome.  I still feel
my legs ache from the 2 point position for 15 minutes without stirrups. 
Tried dressage lessons
but for some reason I can't seem to get out of that 2 point 
position......lol

I TOTALLY AGREE.......
