    [RC] What to do with 18 m/o? - Kristene Smuts

    Hi guys

I have an 18 month old colt which I plan on making my next endurance horse - nice teenager at the moment ;-))

I take him with me and Ibn on occasion and the longest he's run free with us is about 8 kilometers, flat ground, he walks and trots and grazes mostly, no undue stress on the legs at the moment.  Total distance about 20 kilometers in 4 weeks.

What distance can I safely let him do with us?  Speeds?  Terrain?  Anything else I should know?

Smiles
Kristene
