[RC] [Guest] 100 milers - Ridecamp GuestJan Mutchler jmutchler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Since starting endurance a few years ago, it has been my goal to do multi-day rides and 100 milers. Now, a few years later, I am still working at getting both done. I want to do the multi-days to see a lot of country in a few days. And, I want to do 100's for the personal challenge of managing my horse for that far in a day. I have tried a 100 miler twice and got to 85 miles both times before pulling my horse. While some people may think of that as a failure, I found it to be exhilarating and a wonderful learning experience. I was very happy that my horse and I had gone more than 50 miles and we learned a great deal from the experiences. Because of my own physical limitations (rotten spine) and my horse's man-made problems, to accomplish what we did was important to me. Sometimes in the "trying" you find the "winning" and winning comes in many forms. I now have a new horse buddy thanks to Frank and Becky Solano. Cheefers has quickly become a wonderful friend and is a joy to ride. I am looking forward to my next "try" with my new buddy.
