[RC] re: age for 100 milers - Cindy Collins

Everyone seems to disagree.  I know that most people feel they really
should be at least 6.  Dave Nicholson would likely say 7 or 8.  Generally,
I wouldn't ride one on a 100 miler until they were at least six, but it
absolutely depends upon the horse.  I have started two five year old
horses with a 100 miler and both did great and went on to have successul
careers.  However, they were both Arab crosses and very mature 5 year
olds.  Studying the Tevis records would be enlightening, too.  Guess it's
best to err on going older!  Cindy
