Frank, it sounds like you are planning for Tevis? <g>  Haven't
we all thought those same thoughts, everytime you waste 5 minutes on the
trail, or 10 minutes, and if you do it every hour...how it really adds
up?  

And yet, if you don't spend time walking....you will still reduce your
chances of completing the ride!  

I believe it was Julie Suhr who taught me about walking for ten minutes
of every hour.  Gosh, I hope I have it right <G>.

p.s.  one of the questions I wished I had asked on the questions to
the Decade people is how much of the time do you canter.....of the ones I
have asked that question to, trot most of the time.
