Been there, done that, but it was only a 50. Couple years ago at Alpine my horse kicked into gear on the last loop and did 11 miles in 45 minutes. And yes I was just a passenger trying to hang on with tired legs. I was pretty awed though at the power the mare came up with when she knew she was trailer bound. Kind of fun to feel that power and strength when that happens though. They do some amazing things.

the woods at 90 miles and your horse realize they are only at most an
hour form camp, drop their butt and give you whip-lash:-). Yep, you know
they're okay if you have to haul them in to a hand gallop so you can
dodge the trees.
My greatest thrill in this sport was my first 100 when my mare did is
this and put away the last 10 miles in 45 minutes. Rider, what rider, I
was a passenger! Tired - not me dad.
