Re: Re: [RC] CTR pacing - cschiro

Ride Mgmt at some rides may request riders to please not pass a certain point 
by a certain time in order to give the vet judge and horsemanship judge time to 
move to new location for on-trail judging.

  Also in CTR aren't your penalized for coming into a check too early or too 
late? Thus you have to pace yourself to not be too fast or too slow. Whereas 
endurance has no minimum time limits.

    CTR pacing differs depending on the rules that one rides under.  Some 
organizations maintain about a 5 MPH pace, others 6, and others 7.  Some have 
different windows.  Sometimes the window can be 30 min and other times it is 
10 min.  Sometimes, one is sent on trail one by one, minute or half minute 
intervals, and sometimes groups of 5 or 6 are sent out 10 minutes apart.  It 
all depends on the organization that one is riding under.  There is ECTRA, 
OATTS, UMECRA, and NATRC and possibly others.  Over the years, I learned to 
approximately judge my horse's speed on trail, I knew how fast I could cover 
a mile at a regular trot, an extended trot, a canter, and even a gallop.  If 
I covered ground too fast for the time allowed, then I might sit at the half 
way for 10 minutes longer or I sat at the 2 mile mark until I could head in 
and not have to go into creeper gear.  Jeanie
