are multi-days more difficult?

[Deanna German <dgerman@earthlink.net>]

Before I ask my question, I must say that I am in total awe of you folk
(and your horses) who do multi-day 150+ mile rides (add this to the awe
I already have for 100 milers).

So, is a two day 50 more difficult than a one day 50? Same question for
100. I ask this because it occured to me after doing my first two day 60
miler (CTR done at about a 7 mph pace), that it would have been easier
(for me) to just do 50 all in one day. But is is it easier for the horse
too?  Does anyone condition differently if they are doing one day 50's
vs. two day 60's?
