[RC] NC Hold Times - Naomi PrestonPersonally, I liked the 4 hours of hold time at the NC. My horse
ate the entire time, and it was HOT (98 degrees at least!), and
the horses had a a chance to cool down in the shade and
relax. (and me, too.) There was no grass on the
trail until the last leg, so no grazing. You have 24 hours
to complete a 100 -- minus 4 for holds, leaves 20 hours. That
would require you to do 5 mph on the trail. I think that is
totally doable for most folks.
Another thing to consider is that there can be vet lines at checks
(at larger rides).....and with shorter holds, there is sometimes very
little time to take care of your horse with short holds.
