[RC] NOT the HW again - Roger Rittenhouse
Where is Jerry Fruth when you need him.
In the flat SE rides I never get off, cant get him slow enough to jump
off, then I would never get backup.
In the 'hilly' rides I get off - some, tail up and sort of run jump
weave going down, Have to stay out of his way. I guess I do about 4
to 5 miles off the horse in a 50. I dont get off in a 25 as long as
its safe.(training ride?)
I run at home, I take him with me like going on a run with the dog, but
I take my horses.
As I get older and he gets stronger I get off LESS.
At a noted ride here (Biltmore) there is a rough climb at the 35 mile
point. I ALWAYS get off at the bottom, last year I was trotting
along yacking with another rider, made the comment I will be getting
off at Ducket Ridge since its too hard to ride him up that trail,
rider looked back and said 'we just went over it'
Oh well -I did get off and run down it.
I have to pick a better then average horse, condition with dedication, ride
very smart, good equipment fit the horse, pay attention to
the minor details of feeding and shoeing, and more conditioning -
ride ride ride.
Just got back from about 5 miles up/down behind the farm at walk trot
short canters, not much flat on these trails,
also its 95 degs with 90% humidity. Rode from 12:30 to 2:00.
We both know we did a workout.
HWeights just have to do it ..?? fillin blank
A no wimpy HW
