Hi Carol-

Sounds like you & your Fjords are having a wonderful time!

We usually ride ~ 6 miles, couple times a week. If we had more workout time, we 
could increase the horses' fitness and go longer. I don't like to push it.

What is a reasonable distance to drive in a days outing?


Hey Mr. McWethy, your'e on!
( FYI Carol, Dave is no slacker in this department, and should be considered 
the List's resident expert on distance driving. He and his team of mares 
crossed the country a few years back. New Hampshire to Montana !

gorgeous outside, but, I am looking forward to attending a wedding up at 
Lake Tahoe at 5pm, aboard a huge multi-hulled vessel. Then tomorrow I have 
promised my S.O. the whole day to help get the hay in...)

Hi List,

1st I must tell everyone how much value the list is to us new horse
owners.  I've learned so much from all of you and cannot thank everyone
enough for all the input.  So here is a BIG THANK YOU
And now it is time for a new discussion.  What is a reasonable distance
to drive in a days outing?  I know there must be a lot of things to
consider such as: hills, weather (hot and humid), condition of horse,
weight being pulled, etc.  I have been doing between 5 and, once only,
10 miles.  I would love to hear from you experts.
