Kristen,

A lot of juniors who ride with sponsors don't really know how to ride their 
own rides. I've never trained with a sponsor, and rides were my exception. 
When I did my first endurance ride alone, I felt so free. If I needed to 
stop to adjust my tack, I didn't have anyone getting flustered with me. When 
I wanted to speed up, the only permission I had to get, was from my horse. 
It's possible to find someone who you pace really well with. One of my 
friends and I pace well together usually. Usually is the key word. Every 
ride is different, and every horse has its "off day" you never know what can 
happen.
