Karen;

You ARE an endurance rider even if you haven't done the mileage yet.  You will
likely only go a little faster over less rough trails.  Doing some serious
trotting on decent footing will get you more ready but you have already
mastered shoeing problems, colicky horse, enjoying the scenery, etc.  The only
thing lacking that I can see is NOT getting lost.  You haven't done endurance
until you've gotten lost!
