I'd love to hear from those who are starting out new horses. We all need encouragement to "hold our horses" and develop them slowly, even as our own "riding clocks" are ticking and those available riding years seem to be waning. I was especially impressed by the article about Tulip in the March 'Endurance News' -- what a role model that horse is for our newbie horses! I would especially like to know the game plans devised for the newbie horses out there in Ridecamp Land -- what kinds of rides, strategies, etc. are in place. It is a joy to bring a new horse into this sport-- to see what it's made of and how we can better manage our decisions for its long-term soundness. Let's ride! Beth in Texas" I am a newbie who is starting a 5 year old AngloArab/ hanoverian cross. She will be my first under the age of 11 horse--my first fresh clean never been abused or used up or sufferring from some ailment horse. I am so excited AND so afraid of making a mistake that could hurt her. I rely on the information I find here and new friends I've made volunteering the past two years. I conditioned a 19 year old in 05 but I understand the old timers can be a lot more forgiving of mistakes. What about adding work on pavement to condition for hard ground rides? Is yes when and how?
