Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Fw: Conditoning .. all hills

Quoted from Laurie Durgin's message:
> Think I'll at least do sustained trots in  the  ring.

When we lived in CA and had our boarding/training stable, we had a 150' x 
300' arena that we bulldozed a track of sorts around.  Someone with more 
math skills than I could figure out how many times around it you'd have to 
go to get to one mile - I've forgotten how many now.  When I was short on 
time and needed to get a quick 5 miles in, I'd go around and around and 
around....  This was an Arabian show training barn and all the people there 
thought I was totally nuts!  I probably was, but I can also tell you that 
boring as it was, it did the trick.  I could canter as well as trot and it 
didn't take long at all to get some work in which was better than the 
alternative, which was not riding at all that day.
