LD rides are needed. I started as an LD rider and if I
hadn't I don't think I would have continued. Endurance riding is a
hard sport. I do 50's most of the time and I have done a 100 miles. I plan
on sticking with the 50 but do LD's on the younger horses. I
will probably do some more 100's. POINT: In Australia and endurance horse must do LD's before he/she can do
50's or 100 miles. It's about the horse not the
rider.
