No one has said this as of yet. It is still 100 miles on horseback and no 
100 mile ride is easy. You still have to pace your horse, make sure they are 
in condition, keep yourself and your horse focused for 12 plus hours 
(including checks), and everything else that can happen over a 100 mile 
course. Sure some are easier than others, but it is still a 100 miles ride 
and you had better be prepared for a variety of things.
