To me, the appeal of Endurance is to have the freedom to decide how
to do the course. I have hiked many miles to stretch myself out and give
my horse a break. It is also a great incentive to stay fit ! I
remember doing the Swanton 75 in 2004 and riding along with Dennis Tracy.
He was on foot more than aboard his horse, and making good time- he finished 2nd
in that tough 100! I often prefer to hoof it where the footing is funky,
although my horse is very sure-footed. Let's leave a good thing alone
!!
