Re: [RC] Fw: Hopkins Creek ride story part one - heidiThis is incredible! Is this really possible? Has anyone ever heard of an average time like that? I am not disputing it, just find it amazing. Yes, given good footing and good conditions. I have on at least one occasion seen a sub-3 hour 50, where the entire ride was covered that fast. But have certainly seen speeds like that with front runners on the last leg of a ride, on several occasions. Have even ridden a few last legs approaching that sort of speed in my younger and more fit years, and I'm not near as talented as many riders, even though I've been blessed with some good horses. Never ceases to amaze me what horses can do, and still be in beautiful shape after doing so...

Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS! ~ Darlene Anderson - DPD Endurance ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
