Try it on a mule :0) My worst experience with this was on a 50 actually. It was a 12 1/2 mile loop 4 times. By the 3rd loop I had to walk Minnie out of camp,...

"The fun part is when we get all four seasons on the same day." LOL - Paul is not kidding about that! When I first moved to Missouri I was astonished at how...
I would love to do this ride, but don¹t own an endurance horse. Does anyone want to do it & have a (relatively) safe, sane horse and want a companion? I have...
One thing that was pretty glaringly obvious at the Convention is that a lot of people are looking for black and white answers, but the sport of endurance not...
Crysta, I am with you on this one. I agree that folks are looking for a formula where there is a whole lot more art and horsemanship built into the equation. ...
Chrysta (and everybody): What I finally realized (after several years) is that people mean different things by "conditioning." They use the word when they are...
It has been coming to our attention that many horse owners are being led to believe that the microchips that are for the NAIS ID system can also be used to...
Thanks, Anita for the correction. We had all been led to believe what you said about finding lost or stolen horses. And you are absolutely correct about NO TO...
How does one get over the "mental hurdle" of the 100 mile challenge? I am hoping to get one more chance this May (again) to try for our 2nd 100 mile...
... From: Skyla Stewart How does one get over the "mental hurdle" of the 100 mile challenge? <<< I have little experiance, but the first thing I think is, do...
I do WANT to, which is part of the problem, if it was a "need" then I wouldn't bother. :oP Just seems so silly to turn to mush is all. Skyla ... challenge?...
But for SOME dang reason I am feeling VERY insecure ... Skyla, Right now I am training a 12 year old horse with 350 miles of 50's in the last year for his...
It is like the difference between going to the local park or going to Europe for a vacation! You REALLY want to go to Europe and you REALLY don't want to get...
RE:"WHY do I feel so "lost" in what to do, how to train, because I now am ... Well you might want to consider this. There are about 300,000,000 people in this...
Try this: 1) Go rent and watch "World's Fastest Indian" 2) Pick a 100 later in the year 3) Fill out the entry and send it in Now, do what you do to get ready...
So far every 100 I've tried, I've been pulled at or before the 50 mile mark, So the "failures" are not due to the extra milage or lack of preparation. I just...

Bawhawawawaw!! LOL I have never had enough time to overtrain for anything after my first 50. I last got on a horse 3 weeks ago :( But your point IS VALID and...
Well said, Paul. Good luck at Biltmore! Marirose ... From: psidio422 To: new100milers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:07 AM Subject:...
It's been said before, but I'll say it again: "One loop at a time!" Your issues are purely psychological--you are justifiably intimidated by the challenge of...
It is the uncertainty of "being ready", the "ride" itself isn't the fear. I need to just STOP thinking about the whole thing, and look at it as a longer...
Think of it this way Skyla, it has helped me when facing my three 100's (first-completed, Tevis-pulled, and then an early spring one- completed). I was never...
Apologies that this post got more long-winded, than I intended, but it's about the philosophy of going into 100s. When I was getting ready for Tevis a few...

You guys MUST be motivating others besides me, keep it up! THIS is what makes us (e-riders) such a great bunch-support.! The love of the journey has not been...
Sinatra got his 1000 miles with Crysta at Rides of March yesterday! Don't know if this list strips out photos, but if not, here's one of them trotting along...
Sinatra and I had a GREAT ride with Lucy and Roo, who finished a 6 mph 50 (with 5,000+ ft of climbing) in fine style and looked great at the end. =) Sinatra...
