So good people tell me what you all think are the easy rides and the
tough rides. Are you considering just the rider, just the horse or
both???

Hi Bob!

I havn't read this huge list of digests yet (isn't anyone riding!?!)
but this question glared out at me. It is relative to your physical
and mental condition, as well as to the horse's physical and mental
condition. Sometimes, just getting to a ride can be damn
hard..anything can happen! How easily one achieves a challenging goal
rates the toughness of the ride.

Now, I know you mean physical too and for that, my limited experiences
tells me up and downs, hot temps, the right time of the month (for
me!), Mystery is feeling his peak and no colds are all yeah or neigh
factors. But it all starts in the mind and the level of training....

(and do you think one's age and when they started riding????? )....

Happy trails!
