Wellll;

Champagne started to do endurance riding at age five with 50's (did not have
25's then) Did not start to consistently top ten until she was six. Has done
over 8,000 miles and is still a good ride at 28 years old.

>I would appreciate data from those of you who have riden 5 yr. olds in 25
mile rides. Granted your horse was conditioned properly and riden slowly,
were there any ill effects from being riden 'long' distances at a young
age.Please be specific as to how long you conditioned the horse,miles,
injuries(if any), if the horse is still sound,and what age he is now.
