After months of perusing the multitude of training/conditioning program posts,
I have come to the conclusion that the words Long Slow Distance (or LSD for
short) are not necessarily being used in the same way by all of us.

So. . . I would like to take a poll (please e-mail me privately with your
responses). For list members such as Tom Ivers (who don't actually condition
endurance horses), I would appreciate it if you could answer questions 1-7 AS
IF you were going to train an endurance horse and then answer questions 8, 9,
and 12 about this imaginary horse.

1. Do you use LSD in your training program?
If no, please explain why not and skip to question 6.

2. Give a brief description of how you use LSD as part of your training
program.

3. What is your definition of "long?"

4. What is your definition of "slow?"

5. Give a brief description of your PHILOSOPHY of using LSD in a training
program.

6. Do you use a heart rate monitor?

7. What is your background/experience in horses? Endurance?

8. What is the longest ride you have completed?

9. How many rides per year do you do with one horse?

10. How many horses do you have in endurance training?

11. How would you describe your current level of competition?
a. Always take the entire allotted time.
b. Finish somewhere in the middle of the pack.
c. Regularly top ten.
d. Frequently finish first.
e. Frequently win best condition
f. Other (please specify)

12. How would you describe your level of competition goals?
Use same list as above.

13. How old is/are your horse/s?

14. What region are you in?

15. What is your weight division?

16. Comments.

If you send me your responses, I will compile the information and send it back
to the list with my discoveries. If I get enough responses, all those
questions at the end may be useful.

Thanks for your time.
