[RC] LDs bad - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I was interested in the comment "even watching in the pasture ...this is a 100 mile horse". How can you tell looking at a horse that they might be capable of starting in 50's or even 100's? I hate to sound ignorant but I am. I just started doing LDs with my POA. We've done 2 this year and I keep going back and forth about whether or not to do a 50 before year end or just another LD. She eats (voraciously) on the trail drinks well and finished both rides happy and healthy. Sure, I think she could do a 50, a slow one and there's one near me that I'm debating on trying but on the other hand our conditioning since the ride in June has been our 1 hour dressage lesson and then 2 to 3 times a week we do about another hour or two in the arena practicing. She recovers well and looking at her I'd say a 50 might be possible for her but I'm not in any shape to ride 9+ hours. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
