Re: [RC] Ways To Know You Are Ready for 100 Miler? - rides2farIn Lou Hollander's book, "Endurance Riding Beginning to Winning" he said that when your horse can do a 6 hr. 50 he's ready for a 100. That worked for my first horse, it took 2 years before he did a 6 hr. 50, but for Kaboot I waited till he had 800 miles of competition in 50's, had learned to eat & drink and could do a 6 hr. 50.
