We do still excel at endurance as we know it.  Just because we don't "excel" 
at the kind of game it has become in the hands of others doesn't mean we 
don't do it right here in this country.  Look at the great horses in 
AERC...Jayel Super, RO Grand Sultan, Heraldic, RC Lad, and others too 
numerous to mention.  These are the REAL endurance horses, IMO.  I don't 
consider a horse that can run a flat 100 miler a couple of times and is 
never heard from again a REAL endurance horse.  And I certainly cannot bear 
the thought of using horses for a few hot races and then being discarded. 
We ride ours, we love them, we care for them, we weep when they age and die, 
and we treasure them.  This is endurance AERC style, and we should be proud 
of it.
