The groups that I have seen start in the most sane manner are the 5-day
riders.  They KNOW they have to make their horses last for all five days, so
they usually ride wisely.  Some of the riders who come to a 5-day ride with
plans to ride only 1 or 2 days will ride faster, but the ones who plan all 5
days on the same horse ride pretty smart.
