A quick delurk from being a digest reader....I've got a 14.1 hairy,
middleweight 5yo bay gelding pony (Basil) and we're complete novices
at this "endurance thang". We're based in Yorkshire (UK) and hope to
do some pleasure rides this season and perhaps finishing off with one
longer competitive ride (I guess you'd call me a......wait for
it...... limited distance rider!!!!!! Arrrgggghhh!!!!!). Eventually,
as the years roll on we might be able to go further, but so far, I've
no idea. We are currently returning from 10 mile rides in excellent
shape and fairly quickly (quickly enough to make other poeple at the
yard look shocked). Anyway..... here's my question (s):
1. would the person who recently posted the interval training post
with all the nitty gritty details about trot-sets, HR, etc please
please please send me a copy (if they've got one?) to my email as I
accidentally deleted the digest before printing it out?
2. Anybody recommend particular numnah's for LDR? Ones that can be
bought in the UK?
3. Anyone out there bodyclip in summer? Advantages/disadvantages? The
thing is that Basil is as hairy in summer as a TB is in winter and in
winter he is literally like a bear (he gets clipped in winter)!
Cheers!
