[RC] Fast rides~Decade Plus Horses~ - Mrs Christina HykwAll this chatting about fast times had me wondering, do the horses that are being raced last a long time in their career. I'm a newbie & my main reason for trying this sport was an introduction to it by a friend and I thought my horse would enjoy himself in it and he does, so he is my main reason for trying distance riding, now we both enjoyed ourselves and have been conditioning & saving dollars for riding in 2007. Farrier issues held us back in '04-'05 & $$$ held us back in '06 (new house/car came first). SO, now we have a Distance riding savings account, and are hoping things will all come together for a full season. My biggest concern is that he & I do this sport *together*, and a long time. I have been trying to get a grasp of a good average time to aim for....to keep in mind while training~ while all the LD/50 chat has lended over some ideas on what is average & what is too speedy, I would love to learn about what type of riding lends itself to longevity~ While I have other horses coming up, I would love/hope/pray/train that this one is for sure a longevity horse. Thanks in advance & God Bless ~Christina~
