I've only completed one ride so far and came in 8th (we planned on last 
place lol). We cantered most of the way, my horse canters at about 120hr, he 
trots at 150ish. I would suggest (from my limited experience) go at the pace 
you are both comfortable at. If he can canter it all and meet the criteria 
in the vetchecks then great, if he can't then slow him down.

==========================================

I have been doing CTR for 2 years and just successfully completed my first 
AERC 25mile LD. The question I have is, are the top finishers trotting or 
cantering more? My horse, a TB, tends to prefer to canter and it seems he 
settles in (haven't checked with a heart rate moniter yet). I chose not to 
let him canter much on this first ride...mostly maintained an 8mph trot. The 
canter is easier for me to ride, too. Just wondering so I can maybe let him 
canter more. Thanks!
