They were changing trail on the fly.  I was on that road loop when I heard the Trail Boss say that he wasn't sure of the mileage on that loop.  I don't...
Well, I'm not sure of the official mileage but I was carrying my GPS and when it was all over I had 80.8 miles showing. After the second yellow loop I did the...
Hi All, I was wondering what your thoughts are about the age you insist that your horse should be before their first 100 mile ride? Also how many rides would...
Paul....now I know that you are riding Piper at OD right?  Your right....it's mental and physical. Cash did his first 100 at age 8 and it was only his 3rd...
I've heard of some riders who start their horses right out on 100s.? I prefer to start with 50s.? In my 1-rat study (only got one horse doing 100s so far),...

Steven, That is very understandable! graduation is very important. You only grad from high school once! And you have many many more OD's ahead of you! Yeah,...
Yes, I agree with Steven. I rode the OD last year and I thought it was moderate challenging. I thought it was easier than some other mountain rides in the NE...
... climbs. ... My ... Riders, but it ... I rode the OD 100 for the first time last year, so I can't personally compare the trail to the previous one....
Paul,   You don't understand. IF I don't do the OD ride, it isn't because I chickened out. I have an interview with a company this coming Tuesday. I...
