My friend and I are new to endurance riding having only been in
2 50 mile rides. Was wondering if we could have some advice on
a couple of items. First mares vs geldings in our area geldings seemed
to be preferred was wondering why?? Also my friend prefer the extended
trot for most of the rides and I prefer the canter. Pros and cons of
either??
We both ride purebred arabian mares aged 8 and 10
Thanks in advance
