Re: [RC] [RC]   Mileage and Distance in Perspective - Chris Paus

LOL... last year I took my young mare on a charity
ride to get her used to being in a herd going down the
trail. It was on my favorite training trails...

sigh... The "leaders" were going SO slow. Now I'm not
a fast rider, and usually am in the back third, but
geesh, we could have taken a nap! Then they could't
read the trail markings. I kept telling them which way
we needed to turn, but no one listened to me.

They went around all the fun parts of the trails...
the hills, water crossings, etc., and short cutted
through the boring stuff.... My riding partners and I
finally ditched them and had our own trail ride,
LOL...

going 25 miles on a 

horse in one day, IS A HECK OF A LONG WAY! ?


LOL...ain't that the truth!  A story - we're putting
on a 2-day ride this spring, and in addition to the
standard 25/50 each day, we're having a shorter
(approx. 14 mile) intro ride each day to introduce
new folks to the sport.  A riding buddy, who is also
helping put the ride on, was talking to some
co-workers who were excited about doing the intro
ride (the co-worker's wife is a former show jumper).
 Then they found out that it was 14 miles..."oh,
that's WAY too far to ride!"  <G>
