I feel this regimen,alternated with a bit tougher ride once a week is
adequate. I admit that there is little speed work but we just do not have
the straight or flat required.

Your comments would be appreciated. Hope you are not having the high winds
we have. Makes the critters a bit spooky, but we were able to get close to
two eagles sunning on some rocks, many deer and a fox today while riding.

Bob, judging from the recovery heartrates after all that work, I would say
that the training regimen is exceptional. It will be very interesting to see
if small adjustments, like the "stadium steps" concept, can make a dent in an
already tough and effective regime.

Johnna's problem is that her horse could probably not deliver the same
workload and her gameplan is going to keep her from laying down enough base
to eventually be able to achieve that kind of work. At least, that's the way
it seems to the extent that I understand what she's saying.
