[RC] LD's...I mean endurance - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

So far I've only done the 2 LDs this year.  And I am quite satisfied with LD 
being LD.  I took a 5 year old POA pony who up until I bought her had been part 
of someone's show string for the POA futurities.  I bought her in Sept and we 
successfully completed our first LD in March.  I work full time and am raising 
a 13 year old daughter as a single mom (was then, I'm married now but still 
working full time).  Our conditioning was mostly in a 200 x 600 outdoor arena 
roughly 4 laps = 1 mile.  I was able to only do a few longer rides out on the 
trails.

Could I have done this and completed successfully (on time, healthy happy pony) 
for a 50?  Probably not, I'm not that good yet.  The LD format is exactly what 
WE need.  I treasure every last mile we've done.

I'm sorry but if you want to do endurance move up to either the 50s or the 100s.
