Re: [RC] Mud and fitness - Barbara McCraryWe don't. We have tons of trails, but they are generally steep and often slippery. We tend not to ride a lot during a wet winter, and this is one of those! It's gearing up for another storm right now.....Barbara Who lives about 50 miles or less south of you ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julienne" <jsrha@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 10:17 AM Subject: [RC] Mud and fitness With all the mud we've had this winter season, I'm wondering how everyone is keeping their horses fit? I'm in Pacifica, CA and I haven't been able to go on further than a 7 mile ride these past few months because of the slippery, hilly trails around here! I'm riding her maybe 2 times a week, mixing it up with quadrille practice and getting out on the trails if at all possible. I'm wondering if Isabella and I are going to be fit enough for an early May LD ride and then 1-2 LD rides/month thereafter with a goal of *possibly* a 50 by the end of the year? Is that too lofty of a goal? We're usually at a slow-mid/turtle pace. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
