RE: [RC] Reply to Risk Question & Mileage - Jon . Linderman"That factor of risk/exposure is not a linear progression, more likely logarithmical." Yes, I agree. And why IMHO amassing miles 25 at a time is in no way equal to amassing miles 50-100 at a time. Its harder on the horse and human to do it right. Jon
I do believe that exposure equates to risk, therefore the shorter the distance the less risk. Conversely, you could state the longer the distance the more risk. That factor of risk/exposure is not a linear progression, more likely logarithmical. A fifty exposes more than double the risk to a horse than a twenty-five and likewise the one hundred mile distance even more. The conglomerate of distance, time, trail hazards, equine energy expenditure and the rest of the equation, all factor into the risk. But then life with out risk would be extremely dull. In all reality there is no worthwhile value to such a discussion as many of the factors that enter into the risk are uncontrollable. Life exists and goes on, things will happen and life still goes on. Accept it and have fun with your equine companions Bob Bob Morris -----Original Message-----
