I have only done 1 ride so far and the start was ‘paced’
That is someone from Ride Management I assume led the LD horses for a while at
a walk at the beginning of the race/ride and then pulled away and let people
do there thing.
My question is are all rides like this? If not then If I
was to not start riding until 5 minutes or so after the start and let my girl
get her ‘heebie jeebies’ out by letting her canter for the first 5 –
10 minutes will I end up catching up to other folks or do most starts start
pretty fast then pace down?
