Thanks for sharing..keep riding !Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-18458157821980345422009-12-21T12:47:38.737-08:002009-12-21T12:47:38.737-08:00I was curious... so had to do the math. I put 651...I was curious... so had to do the math. I put 651 miles on this past year, but I rode from January up until the storms hit at the end of November. Most was on my mare, but I did ride my gelding some & the other two occasionally. This included 2 CTR's and we do a lot of horse camping. Like you, I saw a willing partner. The only time I saw frustration in my mare was when she was with the trainer. Collection is very hard for her and I get a lot of resistance. <br /><br />I also kept track of the # of miles traveled to rides... I put just under 5,000 miles on the truck for horse related activity. I'm scared to do the math on diesel fuel at an average of 10 miles per gallon. Yikes!<br /><br />Both CTR's that I attended were about 200 miles away. There is only one in my area that is relatively close (125 miles). Unfortunately, Limited Distance & Endurance are even farther away. <br /><br />I enjoy challenging myself & my horse. Setting goals, riding longer, riding faster... If I never compete again, I have fun just riding.Tammy Vasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531335275070860886noreply@blogger.com
