We're dealing with two different uses of the word e-n-d-u-r-a-n-c-e.

First there's "Endurance", which is officially defined as 50+ miles in one day. 
This definition is unassailable!

And then there's "endurance"... which SOME people use when talking about ANY
trail riding that they do in their quest to compete in Endurance.  They're not
pleasure-riding, they're not competitive-trail-riding, so what are they doing? 
WE know that they're "conditioning", or competing in Limited Distance
Endurance... but in reality lots of people just shorten it (both out loud and
in their heads) to "endurance".

But just because we wear brightly colored tights, deck our horses out in
matching biothane, and prefer trotting/cantering most of the time does not make
us Endurance riders.  What makes us Endurance riders is whether or not we have
ridden our horse in a competition of at least 50 miles in one day.
