Re: [RC] Call it endurance? Diane's post - Joe LongOn Wed, 9 Aug 2006 20:32:05 -0700 (PDT), Stacy Baxter <baxterm13@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: ... Diane, your post was very well stated. Let me add that one of the arguments that swayed me was that endurance was defined on the physiologic response of the horse AFTER 25-30 miles. At this point is where ENDURANCE horses are created. (Someone else can jump in here and explain this better than I can). It's been my understanding that the distance that really separates out horses' distance abilities is around 60 - 70 miles. Which is why I would prefer to see the definition of an endurance ride as 100 kilometers or more in one day (60 miles). -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
