RE: [RC] 10 minute mile - heidiA 10 minute mile is six miles an hour. Thats a pretty good clip at a walk. I suspect most horses average about 2 to 4 mph at the walk and most humans are closer to 2 than to 4. At six mph I would expect most trotting horses would jog or trot. Truman, you are correct about averages on the trail. I've been privileged to ride several that average 5 to 5.5 mph at the walk routinely for long stretches, and you'd better believe that they walk at 6+ when headed back to camp! I don't try to walk with them--I can't keep up. Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
