Re: [RC] New Horse & 2 25 milers back to back weeks - heidiHi, I have a conditioning concern, please help. I have a new-to-me 8 YO horse since the 2nd week of January 2005. He has been out on a ranch, unridden since last summer & now not much exercise as it was all snow at the ranch. So, I am riding 3x a week, 5 miles, 4.5 MPH doing LSD on rocky ground, foothills riding. Due to lack of having a horse, I have missed 90% of the ride season in my state (AZ), which the end of it, last 2 rides in AZ, is coming in March. I'd like to do the Old Pueblo 25 miler, & then a 25 mile NATRC ride a week later. Is this too much to ask by then? I only want to go for completion & ride so I am the last one in. Stay with your 3x per week schedule. Start making one ride longer each week. By the time the rides roll around, the two 25-milers should just be that week's longer rides. :-) Sounds quite doable to me.
