almost endurance?

["Dot Wiggins" <dotwgns@ruralnetwork.net>]

In conjunction with a local centennial celebration friends are trying to put
together a short (10 miles) pony express race.  Plan calls for teams of 4
horses/riders,  on a point to point course using the Weiser River
Rail-Trail.

Has anyone out there done any thing like this, or know of some one or a
group with this kind of experience?

I'm experienced in Vet checks etc for Endurance rides, and certainly don't
want to see any kind of "wreck" on a short course.   Would be very bad for
image of all distance riding.

Appreciate any and all information.  Post privately if you wish.   Thanks!

(By the way, some of us are working on a 25-50 mile endurance ride on the
same trail this fall.  Watch for updates.)
