[RC] Oregon 100 - AHA National Championship - heidi larson

I've only done a 50 there, but if your horses aren't used to flat, it won't be easy, if they aren't used to sand, it won't be easy and if you're not used to 15 degrees when you wake up and have it be 80 degrees by noon, it may not be easy for you!!  The one year I was there, I had ice crystals on the inside of my tent, and was shedding clothes by noon.  There were lots of sore hindquarters if I recall correctly, it's been a few years though.

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.
