In case anyone ever has/had interest in trying the Luxew pads, this is my report: I had decided to go with a pad for the last ride of the year since it was...

I was concerned about this, so contacted the AERC vet committee regarding the tryptophan in Ultium. I was told by Dr. Melissa Ribley that this is included at...

Excellent! I am so pleased you checked it out. Dinah From: new100milers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:new100milers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of April Sent: Tuesday,...
I want to try domed pads inside Bares on my Appaloosa. He's a tall, big horse, and his front feet measure 5.5 x 5.5 -- easy. His rear feet, though, measure...
Ok folks. Let's say that you have taken your time and gotten your new horse fit enough to complete his first fifty mile ride. (Well Jodi's TV star, Booger,...
Hi Paul, Well you are correct in that 7 is still finishing his feed and that of his pasture mates. While the "movie star" is working his way to the Biltmore...
While I have never done a one day 100 - here is my plan anyway... At least 3 seasons of CTR & Endurance rides. 1st year just one day CTRs & LDs. 2nd year...
Howdy Paul, Personally, I think you need to consider the individual horse. A young horse just started under saddle recently may take a season or two while a...
I know from reading their posts here and on RC that there are a number of riders who would not hesitate to start a horse on a one-day 100 as its first ride.?...
Paul, you know that there are no set rules on that <grin> Piper only did what.... 5 50's, then OD and THEN Tevis? (awesome horse!). But, he had some LD...
Hi Paul, ... Alright, that does it. I just got rid of my students and was *thinking* about actually hanging around and getting some grades in my book...but...
Paul, For me, doing 75s was valuable as a stepping stone, not just for my horse but for me. My inclination is to wait until the distance is "a piece of cake"...
Paul, One more thing....when you have a really good horse, like Piper....it is so easy to compare others to them and expect the same standard. You new horse...
This got kinda long, and maybe a little off the point, but is a related topic. It's hopefully an illustration of how things don't always work out. I know Paul...
Going from 50s to 100s really just depends not just on the horse but the type of conditioning program a rider is using with that horse. I have been looking at...
Every horse and rider is different. I'd never have thought that with only 4 50s ridden, and not getting completions on two of them, that my horse would be...
"You come to the table with such hopes and goals. You're taught to persevere, which makes it much more difficult to know when it's time to stop - when to...
Rather than looking at 75 as a step to 100's I see than as simply a 75 mile ride. ALL rides are steps to 100's :) Personally I did my first 75 after finishing...
... If you look at any of those East Coast guys make sure you consider ECTRA miles. Steve Rojek, Val, Crandell and all that crowd like to start in ECTRA, then...
Actually, what first got me interested was the number of horses in the W and PS 100 mile program that were completing multilple 100s yet not earning...

We don't see Val at too many CTRs, but definitely true of John and Steve has always got a herd of up-and-comers doing CTR. I am hoping to do my first 100 with...

Since we have members on here from all different regions, can y'all maybe describe your local 100's? Love to hear which do NOT constantly loop back into camp,...
I like this idea. I want to go next. We have some great 100's. Two of which are the Biltmore and the new one, Big South Fork. Biltmore: BEAUTIFUL trails,...
