Seems to me that a non-rider wouldn't want to be hauling butt down an unknown trail. They'll barely be able to hang on to the saddle past a walk, and then go 20 miles??? One can only HOPE that these horses are experienced trail horses! One of the pair needs to know what their doing.
Speaking of Eco Challenge......
One of my riding students announce that her marathon runner husband wants to learn to ride. Seems there is an Eco Challenge going to happen in Ohio in the fall. This one will include the usual running, boating, swimming stuff, plus rollerblading, and HORSEBACK RIDING. A twenty mile section of the course is to be ridden. Husband tells me race organizers are providing the horses.
