Re: [RC] Why would somebody do this? - Sisu West Ranch
"...take a horse like THAT and apparently gallop through an
LD - so conspicuously??..."
Where in the original post did it say that the
horse galloped? Also, there have been adequate posts on RC to the effect
that the pace on 50 mile rides is often the same as on 25's. For reasons
unrelated to racing or training, the pace on some LD's is relatively slow, this
could have been the case here.
Even though some consider an LD to be a "training"
ride, where does it say that in the rules?
I have done relatively rapid LD's on 50 mile
endurance horses for a variety of reasons.
