[RC] First 50 - Maria Berger

In 4 weeks my 6 years old Arab mare and I will do our first 50 mile ride at the Armadillo Ride at Kennard, TX.  I have been riding her for 2 1/2 years and during that time we have done Novice and Open NATRC rides and 25 mile AERC rides.  My objective is to finish the ride with a fit, sound horse and take all the time we need for that. I am very much looking forward to this ride and don't feel I will have any problem with the distance.  
Are there any things I NEED to keep in mind in addition to: riding my own ride, electrolyte regularly and pacing my horse?  I realy see this ride as two 25 mile rides in a row.  Are there things, though, that are different during a 50 mile ride?
