I will also post to the list a short version of what i wrote to
Kimberely on amount of distance for training on a 50 miler.
I basically told her that what has worked for us is training up to 2/3
rds the distance no sooner than 2 weeks before the ride. I feel
training at 50 miles to do a 50 would burn the horses out. 2/3rds the
distance peaks our horses out perfect. 30-35 miles for a 50. We do 2
short rides a week and a progressively long one, ending with the
longest being 30-35. Linda
