Re: RC: Weight Training

[Bluebirdpr@aol.com]

We trained one year with our Boz Saddle which will hold up to about 20lbs of 
sand in the pommel area.  However, we found that the best conditioning for us 
is hill work.  We recently held the Leatherwood Mountain Challenge and while 
my wife finished 5th in the 50, she was 2nd best condition. The winner of the 
best condition award also lives and trains in the mountains.   The first 
place finisher I believe placed 7th or 8th in best condition and this rider 
lives along the coastal region which is sandy and flat.  So I would suggest a 
lot of hill work if you have access.
