> When one sees "LD endurance" mentioned, does that refer to Limited Distance
Yes, LD means Limited Distance which is an event 30 miles or less (I think). Endurance is technically 50 miles or more. > Also, Nancy, of those folks you mentioned who you know ride strongly gaited > horses in endurance, what gait do they primarily use on the trail? Or I think there are a few people competing on fox trotters not sure of gait distribution. There are many good endurance rides in lower MI, Renee, if you want to try one. How far away are you from Cadillac? I am considering coming down at the end of June for the Hopkin's Creek ride, which is about an hour from there. -Kristen in northern MI
