Tevis was my first and only 100 (finally completed on 3rd attempt). I was warned by several Tevis finishers that many riders bring a horse that is already...
... Yes, that's the key. Once you are within two weeks of the ride you shouldn't need, and don't want to do, more actual conditioning -- which requires...
Debbie, I think the thing to remember here, is that horses do react differently...what it good for one, maybe doesn't work for another. But, the underlying...
Ditto, congratulations and best wishes! I am also looking forward to reading your in depth story. Kim ... to find out if Boomer is a 100 mile ... to weather...
Cool! Got a lot of discussion going on this one and that is how we all learn. I saw a quote one time that said if you ask 2 horse people how to do something,...
Debbie, I bet you'll do just fine.??At the time?Bear and I did our first 100, he had only done 6 50s (and 1 LD).? And he did that first 100 only 10 months...
... Isn't that the truth? And it usually happens about the time you start thinking "hey, I think I have this figured out..." <wry smile> ... How many/often...
Lucy, One of the disadvantages of Tevis, in my opinion, is the distance and or hours between vet checks. If you feel something going on with the horse out on...
The saddle sounds interesting--you get the flexibility of treeless, and weight distribution of a treed saddle....Now if it works? :-) Steven "S.Stewart"...
I have access to the entire conditioning list that Tom ran until his death, also if anyone is interested. Alison ________________________________ From:...

... I know what you mean - but except for Squaw > Red Star and then CA Loop, it seems like there are *lots* of VCs at Tevis? (does it seem that way on the...
... From: Lucy Chaplin Trumbull So I guess what you're saying is, if I have any lamenessy doubts, Swanton's the better choice?<<< If I had *ANY* concerns on...
Lucy, If Tevis is your backyard there is definitely an advantage for you and your horse. In my case, I just felt that Swanton was a better choice because of...
... Are you suggesting there's an endurance rider alive who doesn't have concern (or paranoia) about a lamness issue? I haven't met them if so. ... I'll never...

Jonni, I agree with you about Tevis. But I don't think we are talking about lame horses. At least I was not. Sometimes it is beneficial to take a horse to a...
I don't understand...I thought the horse was supposed to land heel first? Everything I've read in the past 18mos. (since I started riding a barefoot horse and...
I had been told that too but Jeannie definitely disagrees. She had slow motion video of the horse barefoot landing perfectly flat. Then the weight of a steel...
Well, that's interesting indeed! Since I don't have any lameness issues, I haven't really tried to determine if my horses land heel or toe first, or flat. I'll...
I'm interested. I though that list was lost in the ozone, or on Tom's computer which wasn't available? ... [mailto:new100milers@yahoogroups.com] ... I've ... ...
Yes, horses are supposed to land heel first, although they could land level or heel first at a walk. It is possible that a horse might become sore if it's...
