Re: [RC] [RC] GSFTR/first rides - Nancy SturmI have to agree with Barbara. After having ridden dressage and jumpers for about 40 years, I decided if I were ever going to ever try distance riding, I'd better get started. I bought an old four horse stock trailer and a very nice Arab gelding. For his first LD, I loaded him up and, all by myself, hauled him from Southern Oregon to the Redwoods ride in Northern California. I couldn't have chosen a better first ride. The folks there were beyond kind. I did not have a clue. I remember coming across the finish at just under five hours and asking, "Now what do I do." Fortunately, Tali pulses down really quickly and camps well, so I pretty much got to enjoy the ride. My grandson owns him now and they make a great team. I ride a Tennessee Walker, easier on my over-used and aging body.
