Angie commenting on wanting to do a 7MPH (I assume
pace over all) made me wonder what most experienced riders pick as the "pace"
they want to keep for a horses first few (or more) 50 mile rides? Yes, I know it
depends on terrain / footing/ weather some. Just curious. I started my guy
with a pace between 5.75 to 6MPH until they get the whole routine of taking care
of themselves down. I always figure speed (if one wishes) can be added later.
But I want them to assume they will be out there a long time, and I found the
learn to care for themselves better. (In my experience anyway)
