Trying to explain...Karen - totally agree with you. Trying to explain that to a non-endurance person is hard though - I felt that Matt's question merited a thorough thinking, and I have come to the conclusion that nothing should prevent Farley and I from completing another 1000 miles together (or more) with proper management!<br /><br />Thanks for the vote of confidence about the Selenium information. I wanted to make sure I didn't have a major hole in my thinking and it sounds like I'm on the right track.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706790384521584232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-73957754870039008512010-08-25T02:48:01.704-07:002010-08-25T02:48:01.704-07:00I think saddles are very important and these shoul...I think saddles are very important and these should be of very good quality.I have two <a href="http://www.saddleonline.com" rel="nofollow">English saddles</a> which are very beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-89690213451649933522010-08-24T23:50:07.602-07:002010-08-24T23:50:07.602-07:00fyi - SG no longer reads RC, so not sure you'l...fyi - SG no longer reads RC, so not sure you'll get a lot of advice back either from her or others on your Se question.<br /><br />You have enough info already (IMO) that you'll be fine if you follow through. <br /><br />I think you should stop questioning whether or not Farley is suitable as an endurance horse or not. You are figuring her out, so don't stress so much about it. You don't need a horse bred up the wazoo for endurance to do lots of miles. Being competitive is one thing but for the other 98% of us, it mostly comes down to management. <br /><br />One of the most important lessons I learned on the '01 XP is that you make your own luck. Sure, luck plays a part in everything with horses but really...it IS the details that really matter. You can't learn those details without some hard knocks along the way.enduranceridestuff.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675520499223277797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-53725567617781598572010-08-24T12:18:19.959-07:002010-08-24T12:18:19.959-07:00I've got more than endurance 2,000 miles now, ...I've got more than endurance 2,000 miles now, and can still see that I've got a lot to learn!

But then, each time I reach another 1000 miles I can look back and reflect on all that I have learned. <br /><br />It's all good though, we keep learning and the horses will keep benefiting from it. You are doing really great so far.<br /><br />Try to stop worrying so much though!!! :)enduranceridestuff.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675520499223277797noreply@blogger.com
