LD vs Endurance

["Kristene Smuts" <Ksmuts@sarcc.co.za>]

OK, so my next question would be to all the other oldbies out there - Jim and Heidi raised the point that one should start off with a hard but slow 50 miler and assess the training gaps then.

How do all the other oldbies feel about that?

Bearing in mind that the whole discussion started with "forcing" those new riders or would-be cowboys out there - those without the necessary logic to look after their horse properly - to start riding properly and learn about what endurance is all about, like taking it slowly with conditioning and at the ride etc etc.
