Title: RE: Long Slow Distance

Hope the rider was as tired as his horse:))  I know I wouldn't want to hand walk my horse that many miles several days in a row.  I have found actual commraderie and better feelings from DeeDee when I do get off and walk with her a bit.  She looks at me as a friend and not just someone out for a ride.  Wish I could read her mind....on the other hand, maybe not:))

I have to admit that we were all taken aback by this, but this guy is an experienced rider with many multi-days under his belt.  I think he was on foot most of the time.  The horse ended up tired, but looked real good the next day.  Don’t recommend this for everyone, though.  I wouldn’t do it myself.

I would not want someone like this in my club. What a jerk....to say the
least. And did no one chat with him about how inappropriate (not to mention
downright dangerous to his horse's well being) this was? What are his fellow
club members offering as advice?
