Re: RC: Endurance Riding For Complete Idiots

You might be wise to take out the trailer dividers in case tying to the 
trailer doesn't work out and you have to go to plan B (example - other 
people's loose horses keep running around your trailer all night - it 
happens. I made a portable corral out of tubular steel gates from Southern 
States. It was cheaper than a ready made corral and has rails spaced close 
together - no room for horse heads to poke thru. Stay away from electric 
fence, JMO but I don't trust it. 

About the conditioning, read different books/articles, find out your horse's 
history - how many years of what kind of riding/old injuries. 

I started in '97 and can't believe how little I knew then and how green I 
still am. Good luck.
