Re: Endurance???

Holy cow, do you get a prose for being labeled as an "Endurance" Rider?
Use your millages to give your awards and call everyone a horse pilot.
Anyone who regularly rides their horse as far as it can go or as far as
they can go safely is improving their endurance. Why does everyone have
to have a lable?
