Re: [RC] LD definition again?? - Chris PausLOL I did a 25 like that last fall on my backup horse.. and he's an AyRab.. my regular endurance guy cut his leg a week before the ride.. My regular guy is 17 this spring, and as forward moving as you want in a horse. My backup is 8, built well, but just could care less about being in a hurry. He doesnt mind if other horses pass him up. It was an agonizing 25 mile ride.. I wore my legs out on his sides, LOL.. On the plus side, his metabolics were fantastic because he doesnt' worry about anything, LOL.. chris --- Sundaez@xxxxxxx wrote: Has any of you ever done a LD on a slow, pokey horse that does NOT want any part of it???? That is way more endurance in that doing a 50 on a forward, willing horse! Who cares what they call it anyway....but those that have only done 50's on forward arabs cannot imagine how hellish it is to go on non willing non arab breed...a 25 can seem an eternity. I'll do a 50 over that any day! LOL I call that ride my "blood and guts" ride.
