I have a horse that we can't get shoes on, so I ride him barefoot if the terrain allows, booted if the terrain requires it, sometimes only the front gets...
One of the things I found interesting in reading the results of the 100 mile ride at Fort Howes (provided below for reference) is the substantial difference in...

... I think there are multiple reasons. While the sample size at Ft. Howes is a little small - it's large enough and the pull rates are different enough to...
I would look at the distance the FEI horses traveled to this ride as opposed to the AERC horses. My guess is that on the average the FEI horses traveled a...
I would like to think that most FEI riders know how to condition, peak and taper for big events. I think this should be endurance 101 for those riding at this...
I would add that this is just as true for metabolic problems--if not moreso--than for lameness problems. The overconditioned horse often does not have the...
This is somewhat related to the topic of the pull rate at Fort Howes, but not really. I would really like to see a program put together for safely bringing...

Truman, The beauty of endurance right now is that you only need one COC that is good for over a year. There is no reason for any horse to have to go to a big...
... No, it's not. Sorry, I wasn't clear. I think it's better. It's the same endurance people who would be trying to guide USEF, but bypasses all the ...

Truman, Did I miss something? You said that you had to run meets with a sore knee because of scheduling. I only said that being able to "peak" for a big...
Thanks for explaining and I think APEX is a great idea. But seminars and clinics are very different than being on a say a structured three-five year program...
There is evidence galore of just that. Truman ... -- “It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't...

I can only tell you about the horse I sent.? He tied up at 23 miles so I don't think the FEI/AERC thing had much to do with it.? Since he traveled from...

From checking the AERC and USEF websites for ride results from other dual sanctioned rides here is what I found: In the 2007 20 MT ride the disparity between...

What you would like to do is get the results back through the start of the dual sanctioning and see a) if there are any trends over time, b) get enough numbers...
Hi everybody, We went out this week end and figured out our trails. The 50s will do the 17 mile loop 3 times and the 25s will do a 13 mile loop twice. The...

Most COC's are good for 2 years. But if they change the maximum ride time to a lower demand like for Malaysia which is 9:40 then the riders that wish to do...

What your not including is the FEI finish times verses the AERC finish times. I know at the GRD ride all top 10 plus more were FEI riders. So I don't think...

... The COC time for Malaysia wasn't changed: Successfully complete such additional ride in a ride time equal to, or less than, 13 hours 20 mins. per 160 kms...
... I don't think this had anything to do with the original question which was completion rates. The fact that FEI riders are running faster might be a factor...
I think that the low completion rate at high profile rides is due more to over-conditioned horses than under-conditioned. Once a horse peaks, he will benefit...
