RE: [RC] LD/50 mile speed comparison - Teri HunterThose of you who would like to try a CTR. There is one on September 13th in Florida. It is managed by Pat Thomas. Pat is a long time Endurance Manager and manages two endurance rides a year. This is an excellent ride if you need to get your horse a little competition before the Florida endurance rides start. FHA is also putting on a distance riding clinic on Saturday in conjunction with the CTR. The CTR is on Sunday I believe. The clinic will also have a mock 10 mile ride. For more information you can find the email address at www.distanceriding.com The entry forms for both the CTR (Sand Hill 25 CTR) and the FHA Distance Clinic will be on the website stated previously.

The SEDRA time window for a 25 mile ride is 3:45 to 4:30. In any endurance ride the rest is not counted in your ride time and this data was based on ride time and not elapsed time. Truman Lynn Kinsky wrote: The other conclusions that can be drawn from this data is the mean ride time for LD rides is within the time window required for a Competitive Trail Ride and in a CTR there is no extended rest time as there is in a LD ride. The LD riders are going at the rate required to finish a 25 mile CTR but the LD horses get a 30 to 40 minute rest half way that is not counted in their time and the CTR horses don't get such a rest.I disagree with that! A 25-35 mile NATRC ride (one day Novice, one day Open), at least in Regions 1 and 2 (Western US), include a 45 minute to 1 hr lunch stop AND two or three 15 minute P&R/vet checks. The horse typically spends 1.5 hours rest time in the course of a day's competition (rest time is not counted in calculating the *pace* of the ride.) Also, I have never experienced an LD ride where the extended rest was not counted in my time -- I've had 6 hours to finish a 25 and that six hours includes time spend in the hold. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
