RE: [RC] New Riders - Alison Farrin

Not to mention that "I" will gladly trade going slow for 4 rides if it saves 
some other horse's life.

Subject: RE: [RC] New Riders



A lot of new riders buy horses that are experienced endurance horses that 
are already in condition and have already done several endurance rides. 
Should they be forced to go slow also? Maybe the wording should be 
changed to "all new inexperienced horses be required to complete their 
first 4 rides at a slower pace......." .




That's a tricky situation. I've seen some nice horses sold to beginners who 
simply thought that since they'd bought a horse who had miles on it that they 
could run wide open. The horses were good, but the riders were clueless and 
over rode them. I have no doubt that my very experienced horse would try to 
convince a newbie rider that he could run *much* faster than was safe. If 
anybody's got to be supervised I'd say this combination is as bad as any.
