[RC] Arena miles neglible? - Sheila_Larsen


Ok my twice weekly dressage lesson are typically an hour, but we are
trotting and cantering a significant amount of that hour, also doing leg
yields, spiralling in and out of a circle, etc.  She can get pretty sweaty
doing that. So figure, trotting 7 mph, cantering 12  mph (is that an
unreasonable assumption?) I suspect we are doing about  8 miles.  As Stagg
is only riding for 40 minutes it will probably be less but it is in the
sand I am on pretty cushy footing (crushed Nikes).  My mare isn't
conditioned for 50 miles but she is looking pretty buff.  I certainly am
not saying they don't need more miles over terrain but I think it is
somewhat of a work out.
