I'm going back and forth on this issue.  I'm a newbie
to endurance, but not horses or riding (history of
dressage, hunter/jumpers, did NATRC years ago, and I'm
a breeder).  I've only done two LDs.  My mare doesn't
even start to get tired in 25 miles, and I'm wondering
if she & I would learn more by doing slow 50s vs doing
more LDs.  She's a mature horse (10).

I bet this will open a whole can o' worms. :)
