There?s nothing else like a big-loop or
point-to-point 100. Starting before dawn, going all through the day, and
finishing well after dark is one of the most amazing things that you can do with
your horse. To me, if you want to develop that special bond, then ride all
day long and into the night.
I can tell you it isn?t as hard as you might
think. The key is pacing and there are plenty of seasoned riders who will
pass on their advice. Each 100 is a gamble, you are dealt a hand, you play
it well, but finishing is never guaranteed. The last twenty-five miles may
show you magic that you?ll never experience on any other ride.
