[RC] Trainer/Advisor - West Region - Alisanne Steele
Ok, now that I’ve got my feet wet, I have a million
questions and I am looking for a Trainer/Coach/Advisor.
Man this stuff is addicting!
I used to run long distance (3 marathons & 1000’s
of x-country/track miles) and don’t know how my previous training can best
apply to my horses training, and I want us to have fun, but don’t want to
push him too hard/too soon.?
I have many questions like:
??????????? -How often to race - Every 2-3 weeks?
??????????? -Should we do multi-days?
??????????? -How long is too long this first year – Is
a slow, mid-season, 100 too much?
??????????? -Are our workouts appropriate (4-5 days arena [45min
– 1.5 hours] and 1 long ride [10-15 miles] week)?
??????????? -Is it better to let him run his pace (I am
monitoring with HRM/GPS unit), or hold him back?
??????????? -And so on, and so on…
I have seen similar questions posted, but answers are all
over the map.? I would like to work with someone who can get to know me and my
horse and help us answer these questions as is best applied to our particular circumstances.
I am in the Reno,
Nevada area and have ridden 3
rides on my 5 year old ¾ Arabian ¼ TWH gelding:
??????????? Rides of March – 30 miles – 4:50 –
7th / BC
??????????? Square Nail – 50 miles – 7:30 –
40th
??????????? HighDesert Classic – 30
miles – 3:05 1st
My next scheduled race is “Land
of the Neversweats” 2 x 25 miles
If any of you can recommend someone that would be a good Coach/Advisor
I would be in your debt. J
