Re: [RC] LD, 50, 100 and Multi Days - Truman Prevatt

I agree the multidays are wonderful. Among other things they allow you to bring more than one horse. They allow you to ride every other day if you want. They allow you to have a safe place for your horse if you want to go look around for a day. I suspect it is the flexibility of the multiday rides is one of the big factors in their popularity.

get the benefit of the early early and late late cool riding, or change of
feel as day goes on to night. Don't like the idea of getting back on after
the soreness sets in. Don't like the idea of dragging the poor horse out
again after the let down. I think there's a lot to be said for doing it all
in one day. :-)<<<<

Yet, Multi Day rides are becoming more and more popular, and the goal of
riding 5- 50 mile rides in 5 days with the same horse is not as uncommon as
one would think!  I'd LOVE to try that with my horse, and look forward to
it. (have not told my horse though, so don't spill the beans to him <grin>)
