As most of you know I just got my first endurance prospect, although she
needs some work. She is thin and has not been well nourished, her ribs
show and I guess she could put on 200(?) lbs. She has hay in front of
her almost all the time, plus supplements. I am starting to work her
very lightly and will increase her workout as she puts weight on.
Does a 25 mile NATRAC ride in middle of May sound like a reasonable
goal? I never had a horse that I had to put weight on, so I don't know
how long it will take. (She is not a "pig", and may be a "hard keeper".
She eats slowly.)
If wondering, Yes, she just had a vet check, teeth floated (much
needed) and wormed (long over due).
Also, the reason I picked a NATRAC ride is I assume that they are at a
slower pace then an endurance ride. I don't plan to compete, I just want
to see how she does and take it slow.
