I agree with Kathy.  My daughter and I both had ridden one horse that was 
literally a 35 mile horse.  After that, it was a struggle to get him through 
the next 15 miles.  If "a 50 isn't really very much harder than an LD", why 
do some people ride ONLY LDs; why don't they ride 50s?  That statement 
doesn't make sense to me.
