[RC] Why they Don't Do 100s - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sharon Hahn sharon.hahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== But could it also be that those who enter 100s are self-selected for ability to complete? I would think that the 100 mile horses probably look better because they ARE better - they have been conditioned to compete at this more advanced level. The rider believes they can complete and (I hope)has information to back that up. If they didn't, they wouldn't try. My horse and I would look like we died at the end of 60 miles, so I know better than to attempt a 100. I am stretching to try the 50. _______________ In response to: I see so many more horses looking badly in flat 50s. Most of the time, 100 mile horses look much better. It must be a mental thing with this generation of riders. I don't get it.
