[RC] Advice please - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Cindy Rodd crodd22@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I really need some sound advice from you pros.  I am new to endurance this 
year, but am already loving it.  I keep my horses going somewhat year 
around...Vermont in the Summer, SC in the Winter.  Nothing too intense..just 
steady riding.  I have only done two rides, the last one just being a 15 mile 
introductory ctr at GMHA in Woodstock, Vt., which was no problem.  My friend 
got first place rookie on my horse, and I got fifth...oops.  I am more 
interested in endurance than CTR..but am limited to availability of rides.  Is 
it unreasonable of me, and unfair to my horses to attempt a 30 at the end of 
June, and a 50 in mid July.  There is a 25 ctr in early June that we are doing 
also.  Then, nothing until mid August?
How do you train for a 50?  Some people say...ride 3 times a week, a third of 
your ride distance each time.  Others say 5 times a week.
Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cindy
