You're an inspiration -- I hope when (if?) I ever
get to do my first 50 I will be as kind to my horse, and make the right decision
for him. We all start out with that intention, but anyone can get caught
up in the "want to finish" trap, and go too far, too fast.
Thank you for sharing with us, I will remember
what you did, when I come to a crossroads like that.
Well, I'll spare you the suspense. We got to 40 miles and she
ran out of gas. However I could not be happier with her performance and I am
very confident now, that with a little more conditioning she will have no
problem completing a 50 at one of the FITS rides in March.
