25-50

["Scott & Dede Johnson" <scottj@cyberlynk.com>]

How should conditioning/training change if a person wants to go from riding
25s to 50s?  I have my first 30 miler with my gelding (he'll be 7 in May) in
June, hope to do another in August and September (with continued
conditioning of course   in between).  Assuming all goes well up to that
point, what should I do differently to get ready for a 50?  Or should I
stick to LDs for a while, as he is only almost 7?  Thanks for any input.
