i have looked at lifetime milage for some local
riders here in the west. some of them have almost no LD miles, while they
have 25,000 endurance miles. i'm sure many of their miles were
accrued before LD existed, but i find it interesting to know that one
really doesn't need LD first. just something i noticed on a rainy
day.
hi there, you can do LD or endurance when your horse is old
enough, can handle the crowd, and has enough conditioning to do the
distance you choose. no set rules here on how much CT or how much
LD before you "move up". you can start out doing 50s if your
horse is ready.
