Re: [SPAM] [RC] First 25 mile ride - Diane Trefethen--only other factor not mentioned is the human factor. After fighting the lost-mind thing, does the HUMAN have what it takes to make it 50 miles?Excellent point. My first 50 was also young horse's. He finished fine. I couldn't walk except backwards. Missed the dance :( I prefer that #2 happen at a multiday ride with no LD offered, to stack the odds a bit more in my favor, no horses suddenly coming up fast from behind.I like that :) The objective isn't to wear them down. The objective is to get them to think. A more leisurely ride environment will help. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
