RE: [RC] New Topic/time between 100s - Ranelle Rubin
I think if your horse was well rested, yet very well legged up before Swanton, it would be doable. I have yet to finish my first 100 either, so I am certainly no expert.
Personally, if I already had my Tevis buckle, and was worried about doing them both, I would chose Swanton. If you have never ridden there, it is one amazing place. It is certainly a more "user friendly" ride to do compared to the logistics of Tevis.

This is the line of thinking that I was using…horses
do 2-5 50s on multiday rides, rest for a month,
then do more rides. I think I’m going to re-read the decade team
interviews also as those horses and riders had long endurance partnerships.
Seems to me that a month between 100s was not uncommon for those riders doing
100s on a regular basis. If there is any doubt, I wouldn’t do it, in
that case maybe would have to borrow a horse for Swanton. Hopefully my
conditioning partners will help me out there (:>)

Hmmmm...well that's a bugger, as I was thinking the
same exact thing about doing both...less of a decision to make then...a month
between 100's is more than Chey has had between multidays and he always does fine....but then, I haven't
even done 1 100 yet, LOL, so I have NO clue :)
