I was browsing through the Decade Team stories, and
saw that several decade team riders give their horses time off, maybe
2 or 3 weeks, prior to a 100 mile ride, and then 2-4 weeks off after as well.
Can anyone with years of experience with 100's, tell me if this usually
complete time off, with only pasture turn-out, or, are the horses
usually still ridden lightly. We (daughter & I) are planning our
first 100 in July (Tevis), and don't want to overtrain and go with worn
out horses, but we do want them to be fit enough to handle it.
