Re: RC: Multi Days

[BMcCrary27@aol.com]

Our experience shows that horses improve as each day goes by .. that is, they
get stronger and stronger.  This is providing you don't over ride the horse
each day.  I would think you could do a multi-day ride quite nicely with the
experience your horse has now, but just take it easy until you see how he
does.  Most multi-day riders I have seen plan on all the days of the event,
and knowing this, they pace their horses sensibly.  Amazing how much ground
you can cover at a moderate pace if you are consistent.  It's consistent
expenditure of energy, not consistent speed.  Pick one of the easier rides
first in order to "get your feet wet", then go on to any of them.  I'll bet
you'll learn to love them like most of us do.
