Re: [RC] [RC] Sun River ride - Brittany Murphy
SunRiver is a pretty flat ride. I did the 50 last year, it had some gradual
long climbs and descends but nothing extreme at all.
As far as risking the ride, I think I'd be uncomfortable asking my horse to
do a 50 when he's sore, especially if I didn't know what's causing it. Could
it be the saddle? Even if it's just a little thing now, after 50 miles it
could be a lot worse. If she's ~completely~ over it the week before, then
the ride is easy enough you could try it. Be careful about mistaking your
horses' enthusiasm for feeling good tho'. My gelding had a shoulder injury
that had him lame for a month, of course he ran around his little corral
every time I came out there. He looked pretty silly with his head and tail
up, trying to convince me that he felt fine, limping all the while. He'd
practically put his halter on himself because he wanted to come out for a
ride so bad. How long has she been sore?
