Re: [RC] Santa Fe Horse Race? - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "L gin" <ladurgin@xxxxxxx> but the Mustangs part is strange. Are they just 'breaking" them now and who is going to condition ride , train them in 7 months.....? Wonder if this is really going to happen? If it will work or be a disaster? Seems rather "all encompassing" ................. Below is an excerpt from the webpage on the race regarding the mustangs...I am curious also. I agree that 7 months even with consistent conditioning isn't ideal for building a solid endurance horse. Could be a difference if they select ones that have some former wild conditioning...versus ones sitting around in a holding facility for months....and I can see doing a careful 50.....but worries about a 50 day after day....? December 16, 2006 The BLM Wild Horse and Burros Program will be providing horses for international teams entering this event. The horses will be selected by ride manager, Courtney Hart, in early February 2007. The horses will be broke in the Correctional Facilities in both Canyon City, Colorado and Hutchinson, Kansas. After the Great Santa Fe Trail Horse Race Endurance Ride, these horses will be put up for adoption. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
