[RC] [RC] OT Horse Slaughter- mixing issues/ ready for an easy 50? - sherman
Thanks
for all your replies. I guess Sonny & I are going to do the LakeOroville
ride in Nov. IF all continues to go well. That’s where I bought him from last
year! Wendy Easley,
a trainer in Alturas brought him down for me, and it’s been nothing but good
experiences with him since then. AND, he’s got good recoveries so far,
and drinks like a waterholic!

Okay, okay…back to endurance issues. A question for those who have
started mature horses in endurance: would it be reasonable to expect a recently
put under saddle (started in December) 8 yr old, pasture raised his entire
life, currently able to do tough 17-20 mile rides in the canyons, ridden 3-4
times a week, usually 2 or 3 10 mile rides & one longer, to be able to do a
slow, relatively (compared to the hills we climb now) easy 50 in early
November?
