[RC] Where do folks ride - Kathy Ramspott

Has there ever been a discussion regarding where folks do their conditioning rides?  I wonder if there is any correlation between the folks who can do 100’s and if they can do their training rides in their ‘backyards’ so to speak.  Specifically

 

How many folks have to trailer to ride over 5 miles

            If you do have to trailer is it less then or more then a 30 minute haul

How many folks have a park or non-road area without having to trailer that has over 5 miles worth of riding

How many folks get all their conditioning in by riding in arena and or have to ride along a road

 

You get the idea.

 

Just wondering

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>.
