1) Trot outs have a whole new meaning away from the hunter ring.

2) Clothing becomes MUCH more comfortable in endurance!

3) I never had a crew to wait hand & foot on the horse (& sometimes me)
at a horse show.

4) Living quarters always seemed like overindulgence before.

5) I get more ride for the dollar with endurance! (Where would you
find a show class that goes on for 12-24 hours!)

6) In endurance, we say "Bit! What bit? The side pull does just
finnnnneeeee - whoa, whoa whoa!

7) We are willing to get up and <start riding> at the same time we used
to <think> about braiding manes.

8) The endurance people are much friendlier! At a show, who would ever
offer to loan a horse to a casual friend with a lame horse?!?

9) Your flask & sandwhich case from the appointments class just doesn't
hold enough anymore! (What do you mean you cut the crust off of the
cucumber sandwiches - I'm STARVING over the next 30 miles! Give it
back!)

10) Endurance is a great excuse to get out to see beautiful scenery.
