Mapping, conditioning training, shoes, food and drink, crew. 100 miles is a lot no matter how to traverse it.

You looked great throughout and tackled that trail like a beast. I will never be as prepared as you for anything in my life so this was really eye opening for me. I never would have even thought to map things out, but I can see how knowing the trail inside and out would really help you manage your horse and the pacing. <br /><br />Regarding crewing in the future: I will come crew for you anytime as long as I can manage it so no worries there. While you could manage a 100 on your own with all holds in camp, I think having at least one person is much better for you and your horse. Being able to relax during the holds makes you less fatigued and that leads to riding better and less soreness for the horse.

You did such an amazing job prepping for this ride and putting together all this great information which will no doubt be beyond helpful for those who hope to follow in your footsteps! Congrats on your completion and thank you, thank you, thank you for posting so much detail!<br /><br />And, I noted with interest your comment about giving Q dry grain instead of mash at the holds. I've noticed that Nimo will sometimes prefer dry feed to a mash, even when it's hot outside. Now that you've mentioned it, I think I might play around with wet versus dry a bit more. "Food" for thought:)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080104319886657109noreply@blogger.com
