[RC] Pioneer Strategy - Peter Harper


I want some advice on ride strategy for multi-day
pioneers.

At Fort Stanton several riders told me it was better
to ride the same horse three days in a row rather than
alternate horses.  Their argument was with a rest day
the horse will stiffen up from the previous day's ride
and it was better to keep riding them for the three
consecutive days and then switch horses for the next
three days.

I know you need to do three days in a row for a
Pioneer Award but my goal here is to complete as many
days as possible on sound healthy horses.

So with two horses, do I alternate days or try three
in a row?
