Re: age requirement for multi-day rides?



This makes me think about the 4 year olds doing 5 day ld multidays.  With this new trend to add ld's on all the same days as the 50 mile multidays it concerns me that these young horses would be worked this hard.  Do you all really think that a 4 year old should go out day after day after day doing 25 or 30 milers?  I think the age limit should be increased but only for horses doing multi days.  What do you all think is a reasonable amount of competition miles for a 4 yr old in multiday competition?  Is a 2 day 50 alright?  What about a 3 day 75 or a 4 day 100 miler?  I think this is pushing a young horse too soon.  Just my $.02 worth!
