There have been times when he can Skjoni have built up to riding as much as 3-4 hours per ride, with maybe 20-25 miles in > a weekend.
Okay Karen, I understand that neither you nor Cary has any interest in riding Limited Distance or Endurance, but this is just about the amount of conditioning we give our endurance horses in miles and frequency per week. If they do a competitive ride on a Saturday then they get up to a week's rest. We train in about the way you would condition a human runner, with a schedule that includes long slow days, speed days and climbing days, so this might be harder work than Cary and his horse are doing, but then again, it might not. If he ever goes berserk and wants to try Limited Distance, I'll bet he and his pony would get a nice completion. Nancy
