Fw: [RC] Building a base: lets get positive - superpatTo: <walkergirl@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 12:11 PM Subject: Re: [RC] Building a base: lets get positive Some people never introduce their horse to LD's and start out on slow 50's. It's all in the management, slow and consistent conditioning and sensible riding and not getting caught up in riding some else's ride. If you ride with experienced endurnce riders on training rides and learn from them, it makes the process immeasureably easier. Hopefully there is a club in your area and you can hook up with experienced riders. If not, the RC archives are full of condition programs described right here on Ride Camp. (I , of course have a difficult time finding anything in archives but it can be done). Try not to be so quick to see positive contributions as disparaging criticism. Howard's success is happily seen and I, for one am happy to see him finally climb out of the sad pit he will tell you he was in last year. He worked hard to learn and hopefully he will continue to apply what makes sense to him for his horse. Most of the cautionary comments, I see as hoping to help others avoid the same pitfalls. I suppose it is all in the receptors. Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

How many miles of LDs, with what sort of recovery rates, should a horse have before advancing from LDs to longer distances? What pace should a new horse be started at, and how do you determine when to advance? How is that 'solid base' obtained? What has worked for you?
