[RC] re: Stagg's comments - Cindy CollinsWhile I have no proof, either, I totally support and believe that Stagg's comments below are true. While I have not had the kind of success Stagg and his horses have accomplished, I have finished 19 100 milers and I have done a 100 miler as a horse's first ride. It was a great experience. Cindy "Note that I personnally prefer not to do fast 50s on young horses but rather to ride 50s as training rides for 100s at the pace that one would ride a steady 100. I would rather move a horse up to a slow 100s as a 6 year old than take them in fast 50s as I believe speed can be far more damaging to a young horse than steady distance.
