Re: [RC] [RC] GPS Mileage - Laurie Durgin

Hmmm. My Time and Distance recorded me in my arena . We worked for an hour maybe , and did 1.98 miles.(walking/trotting and stopping, transitions , circles etc.)And it is only 150 feet long.

I have noticed that if anything, my GPS reads a bit short, and it is usually
when you are winding through an area - it may not realize that even though
point A & B may actually be 10 yds apart, you may have had to go 10x that
distance to get between the 2 points!

Personally, I shouldn't give a s--- where the other people on the course
are, and if I find myself starting to concern myself over this, I remind
myself that this is the first step on the road to overriding my horse and
tell myself to "knock it off!"        :)
