You hit the nail on the head there.  Some horses simply are more capable of 
that sort of schedule than others.  There are a lot of other variables, 
too--how much base the horse has, how old the horse is, and how fast you try 
to go.  If you go at it with the attitude of a multi-day rider, and you have 
a well-conditioned, mature horse with the aptitude for it, then it isn't a 
problem.  The only problem is in determining if you really have all those 
things or not.
