[RC] [Guest] LD Times - 6 hours is generous - Ridecamp Guest
Stagg_Newman@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Just like to oserve that most competitive trail rides organization allow
less than 6 hours for 25 miles including any pulse recovery times. The
Eastern Competitive Trail Ride Association allows 4 to 4 and 1/2 hours
as I remember And pulses are taken 20 minutes after fininshing. So AERC
6 hours should be quite adequate for any reasonably fit horse, even over
difficult terrain. It's not much faster than a walking pace. IMO we do
not want to encourage unfit horses to do LD.
