Re: [RC] [RC] from LD to 50's - FASTGraphicIn a message dated 2/14/2003 9:18:12 AM Pacific Standard Time, heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: << >My question is about racing her in the 50's, it seems all the people I've met at the races seem to think I need to try the longer races but it seems to me since I don't train, feed special, or do electrolytes, that I need to stay in the LD's where she seems not to be stressed at all. >> If she is completing 25's and 30's with no stress at all, you should have no problem completing a 50! Just don't race, remember that "to finish is to win," and enjoy a nice long ride at her pace...if you want to! I have completed three of my four attempts at 50's. The only one I did NOT complete, I simply got caught up and tried pushing my mare too fast. Stupid mistake. She'll complete a 50, under the allotted time, with ease. I'll bet your horse will too. :o) Scott ps - I love it when Heidi "piffles" people, don't you?
