That work's for some, but what about those of us who work ,have kid's and have spouses that work night's weekend's etc? Or single parent's ..Bring the kid's along? well I have 6 of um two of them are spacial needs children and one that's three so not easy to bring um or find a babysitter who is willing to take that many kid's on not to mention the cost! Lucky for me I am able to train as much as I need in spite of all that but, their are allot of people who cannot.I remember last year a lady at a ride i did rode a 50 with her 5yr old double but what if she had two kid's ? You can't say something will work for everyone else just because it worked for you. Sorry not trying to be a Jerk but I don't see how LD's hurt anyone. I'm sure allot of people have started on them because 50+ mile's seamed to large of a goal to start with.I personally am using them to get ready for the longer distance's I ride them like i plan to ride 50 + mile's so next year when i do one I'm confident I wont make the mistake of over riding my horse because I learned what to expect of him on a Les strenuous distance But in the same inviroment
