Re: [RC] Can a Horse get Mentally conditioned to a Trail - rides2farOur horses are creatures of habit, if you Always trot the same area of trail or gallop up the same hill the horse will do as TRAINED. My problem is I am EXTREMELY cautious in training. I will walk across rocks that you have to trot on race day. My horses want to go SLOW on their home course, and they are totally bummed that we go so far when "we never do over 21 miles *here*". >whine< That made Stagg's win at Biltmore more impressive to me. To be able to keep that horse ahead, alone, on a 100 on your home trail must require great inner thigh muscles. :-) Angie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
