Hi, Caroline!

The question you're asking is more complicated than it might seem at
first.  There are several important things we need to know, like how
hard has the horse worked over his/her life, and how hard has he/she
worked in the last few (maybe 5?) years?

How much do you ride on a daily/weekly basis?  What kind of experience
do you have?  Do you have specific goals for distance riding? 
Competitive?  Endurance?  How soon?

See how much detail you can give us, and post it to the list.  I'll
write back, and I'm sure some others will too.
