[RC] Conditioning Miles - What Counts? - cschiro

I hope to do my (and my horses) first LD this January. I have worked out my 
weekly mileage goals from now until then. My question is do my miles have to be 
RIDDEN miles or can extended hand-walking and hand-trotting (a few miles), 
lunge-line lunging or free lunging in the arena count?? I do the lunging and 
hand-work for variety and to practice ground-work. I ask because I board my 
horse 45-50 minutes away, go out there 4 times a week, and work full-time, so I 
want every "step" to count towards my weekly mileage goal. Also since I am 
taking it very slow with my fairly green horse, I don't want to go over my 
mileage for that week.
Thanks, Christina
