LOL! I know just what you mean. Last spring when I was out
conditioning, I met a woman with halter/show quarter horses who were never even
turned out. She asked me how far I was riding, and I told her "just 8 easy
miles...we'll work up to 10-12, then put some speed on." She was
shocked. Especially when I told her "easy miles" meant about 50% trot, 50%
walk. She couldn't imagine going more than a couple miles. This is
why, if we don't ride with other endurance riders, we ride by ourselves
<g>.
