[RC] Fwd: LD/50 to start - merrybenOkay, one more time. I was merely trying to answer the question that yes it is possible to start with 50's When I started endurance, that was the only option. I have done 2 LD rides for various reasons, however, choose to do only 50+ if I actually ever get to ride one again. I am still chasing the elusive 15 miles that will give me 8,000. As for the junior who rode her pony on her first 50 with me when she was 5, it was not her first ride but her second. She had done a 25 miler first. She wanted to do the 50 and asked me to take her because she was afraid her mom's horse would be fractious. It did buck her mom off within the first 5 miles. Anyway, all of my juniors including the 5 year old condition their own horses. They condition my horse, if they are riding one of mine.
I told them years ago, it is like a job. No matter what, we ride on Tuesday and Thursday after work and on the weekend for a long ride.
Finally, if you want to start on LD fine. If you want to start on 50, fine. If you want to start with 100...okay...but you are truly nuts........but then aren't we all................Maryben (yeah that actually is the correct spelling but when I set up my email it would not take that name...............
