Well first off I must totally agree about refers....I put clean food in them, 
how can they get dirty...LOL.
As a total newbie to ER I have some questions about the difficulty of 50's.  
While I realize that the distance is double and you must train longer, etc 
and ride longer, how much of the difficulty being more than double do you 
think is mental?  The human not the horse? <g>  I would love to know how some 
of you prepare for these rides from the mental aspect.
Since I am physically challenged I am not even going to touch on the subject 
of 100's.  Of course two years ago I could barely walk to the barn, last year 
I thought if I could complete just one 25 I had conquered the world and now I 
am thinking about 50's...hmmm, what IS it about this sport?
