[RC] [Guest] conditioning - Ridecamp Guest

I was wondering if I could get information from the more experienced riders
on conditioning horses. I just bought a six yr old mare that has less then
30 days on her. She liked to buck everyone off thank goodness she likes me
so one battle won. I have had her out on four trail rides. She loves to go
and is not spooky. I want to condition her for 50's but don't want to over
do it with her. I rode her 17 miles on her third ride out just enjoying
ourselves and she did great. Her heart rate was down she was spunky the
whole time. I don't want to push her or overide her at all how much is too
much on a green young horse. Should I just stick with limited distance for
a year or so or do slow 50's. How often should I be riding her? I gave her
a week off after the 17 miles in fear of hurting her. She ran around in her
pin when I got her home so I felt like she was ok. Thanks Angela
