Hi:
I am new to this I have been reading the e-mail, but this is the first
one I have sent. This is so great this is such a great resource.
Endurance has been a dream for me for years and I am finally able to do it.
I use to crew for a friend in California, the first ride I crewed on was
the Devil Mt. That is what stirred my desire.
I am getting my horse the end of this month. I use to raise Arabs, but
with 3 kids under the age of 5 it was just to hard so I decided to wait till
they were older.
My new horse is just 3 years old so it will be a few years before we can
do endurance. I hoping I can get some ideas of how to start him. I know he
can't be ridden much, but I can do alot of ground work, and get him use to
things.
Also what is the age they can do 25's? And the age for 50"s? I read the
endurance manual but didn't seem to be able to find that information.

Any pointers I can get will be appreciated.
Should I worry about the perfect saddle now? Won't his back change before
I can do any serious riding?
Thank you all Lori
