Okay,
everybody needs to ride their own ride whether it be fast or slow, aggressive or
non-aggressive. That is what is nice about endurance riding. There
is no one correct way to ride. You just ride the way that you and your
horse enjoy riding and are conditioned for. Remember "To Finish is to Win'
and however you choose to do this is your prerogative. Be grateful there
are no politics involved like at horse shows and that there a great vets along
the way to make sure the horses are fit to go on.
