What a fun and beautiful ride. Hopefully next summer, I can start endurance riding or at least do a novice ride. Thanks for talking about the intro ride things you need and don't need yet. That makes it less overwhelming when I do my first ride in the future.
Good to hear. That's what I was hoping - to help people realize that it's not a big deal "gear wise" Thanks for coming along with us on this journey. We LOVE the company!
Good question...up until just the past week, t's been over 9 months since Aziim "crow hopped" and the issue of him leading has been progressing beautifully so for the most part, SJ is joking around. However, as we have increased speed just recently, Aziim has started up again. We have a few things to try and if they don't work, SJ probably will switch horses. It would be a shame though, because if we can get this sorted out, Aziim is perfect for her. My watch is a garmin - not an app. Good luck with your Nyobi. I've never seen a morgan/friesian cross. Beautiful I bet!
I just did 22 km in 4 hours (3:30 riding time, 30 minutes pause). Is this track really flat? The paths look amazing to trot a lot. At our place we have so much difficult, Stony path and it’s never really flat…
15 miles in 3 hours is still BLAZING FAST at 5mph average. It’s funny because most trail rides I’ve been on, many can’t get over 3 mph average. So the popular saying that endurance riding is just another trail ride is far from the truth. And you need to constantly be moving to make that 5mph average.
Yes and most IDRs are 5mph but this particular IDR (Spring into Stanley - Atlantic Canada Trail Riding Association website) is a 4mph average - for some reason it always been 4!
Getting ready to take my green horse to his first ride, just doing the intros as the whole experience will be new for him. Love your videos.
Oh very best of luck. Fingers crossed for you. Take your time and enjoy the experience!
Great info on introduction rides. Well done. Especially like all age and experience differences.
Thanks Anna!

Very encouraging! Especially the guidance about how many miles my horse can do with some fitness and age of rider ☺️
That's great. Best of luck!
You had fun! The most important part of the ride❤❤❤
That is the truth and hopefully we are pulling in someone from the younger generation to keep it going!
I love your videos.
Poor SJ, not coming off of her horse makes it a good ride for her.

Yes, this is almost flat...just enough of a roll to keep it from getting too boring and most of the footing is good.
What watch and settings are you using to see your speed and progress?. Great channel keep it up I find them very informative.

@@diaryofanendurancerider is that because you’re adding in the hold time?
