Needs padded shoes.
Needs proper tack
Needs endurance red capped
Needs surefootedness capped (if I remember properly)
He is almost at optimum age as well. If you haven't been entering him then by the time you have him completely evented he will be too old.
You may want to consider him for rolling and breeding.
An opinion only. I'm not the best endurance but just got my latest to break a million. fm

In short, no. 
Surefoot is also only at 205, and to get it to 225 in a reasonable amount of time, you'd have to switch back to halter. By the time that and what fm said, she'll be far too old for endurance.

She was red letter capped. Now that she is shod you can raise both movement and surefoot even higher. The win you got was a low mileage (5) low score (0-1300) competition. The horse is a good horse and should win competitions like that so long as a great horse, that has just started and has yet to make his score, isn't entered. In fact these are the competitions where you could make a bit of scratch.
Another note of interest is that you rolled Endurance form Incon 211 to Incon 212. Because of that it is no longer red capped either and will increase to 217 with training. Again I think this would be a good breeding horse. You will note that your horse came in 5th in the other race where mine is sitting second. This is not a brag but, my horse is not fully ready for competition yet either. I started eventing her way too young to try and get her on a roll for when she is at the optimum age. She's not bad though.
These statements are not judgments. They are simply observations meant to help you as some I too have only just discovered. Good Luck! fm
