[RC] taking an older horse to a 25 - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: suzanne gostsinthemachin@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I am looking for some imput on taking my 20 yr old qh mare to a 25 mile ride in 
april. she is very "young" and sound and has been used for trail riding for 
several years with no trouble. I would like to get some specific advice on 
conditioning her for this ride and advice on feeding(she eats senior/beet 
pulp/grass hay and a general/joint supplement)I trail ride regularly with 50 
and 100 mile riders and she has no problem keeping up, I just want to make 
absolutly sure that I give her what she needs to make this fun for us both....I 
have also just purchased a 6 yr old arab who has been ridden very little and I 
would like to know how best to start him out. thanks !!!
