- Episode 10. Journey to 100 mile horse race. Endurance Training is Hard! Training gets real as we start to ramp up for the upcoming season. The physical reality of training for a 100 mile endurance event at the tender age of 64 is sinking in, as is what we have committed to. We are working hard to meet our goals as we enjoy being out in nature and working towards further developing our endurance horse training and conditioning program. Our journey today takes us to Walton Nova Scotia on an unusually warm spring day. This video is for trail riders, endurance horse riders, nature lovers, horse lovers or anyone who wants to take a moment and enjoy the great outdoors!
Only just found this site. Good for you at 64 for doing endurance. I'm now 73, still riding my thoroughbred (Gt Grandsire of Secretariat) and en ex.racer...there's still life on our oldies yet...Great fun, keep it up.
Good for you!! I can’t imagine not riding so fingers crossed!!!
Love this!
Saludos desde Peru. Greeting from Peru. Enjoyed watching and listening to your comments as you rode.
Wow…Peru! Isn’t the internet a wonderful thing!
I absolutely love your videos! I haven't rode endurance for years, but I used to love it. I'm considering trying some LD next summer, as a great way to mark my 70th year on this planet!! I'm "training" right now by watching you guys while I am on my stationary bike. Keep up the great work!! So good, encouraging and helpful!! I totally identify with what Lynn said about giving yourself a new project. And I'm so glad you came out of your hospital stay healthy!
This put such a smile on my face this morning! Please pop us a comment once in a while as you get closer to your LD and let us know how it’s going. We are rooting for you!
Thank you!! So good to hear!!!@@diaryofanendurancerider
Love watching you. We hunter pace and condition in a very similar way. Hot, humid rides are indeed harder.
But they toughen you up, don't they!
thanks for letting us ride with you!
Thanks for riding with us. It gets a little lonely out here sometimes!
Love the ride with you style, it’s lovely to see .
Looks like a perfect place to train! So tranquil🌻Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Truly adorable 🏇
What an amazing trail you guys have to work your horses. Do you have a vacancy for a work rider for your horses?
Just subscribed your channel
Well done! 😂 Quick question... what fly mask were you using? My mare HAAATES bugs in her face but also loves yanking masks off. I am having trouble finding the right one! (She's also an Arabian)
The brand name on the mask is “PC comfortfit”. I just pick them up at my local tack shop. You can get them with or without zippers. I prefer the without zippers version. They are easier to handle and you can throw them right in the washing machine.
Thank you so much!!
Love these videos. You ladies rock. And .... I think you look lovely relaxing afterwards. You with a beer and the horses rolling in the dirt. Lol. Beautiful.
Love watching these rides while I plan my 2nd LD next summer! ❤
You must be very fit. So well done! I'm 71 and ride but I don't like to do more than about 3 hours on a trail ride at the most even though I'm slim and gym fit! I don't know much about trees. Are they fir trees? I didn't think they lose their leaves (needles) or has there been a bush fire through there..... A lot of them look very spindly. Do they log them and is that a new plantation? Apologies for my ignorance. I'm from Australia, I ride through a mixture of gum trees which don't lose their leaves and also fir or pine trees but the ones I ride through are bigger.
I think I’m equal degrees of partially fit and partially stubborn! And hopefully I am gym fit and able to ride at 71 as well!(65 now!) Where we do most of our training is not a great area for trees. The top soil is thin. However there are other areas in our province with beautiful trees. They are an assortment of evergreen. Mostly fir and pine but there are also local areas with small hardwood. I have never seen a gum tree!
Apparently the Eucalyptus (gum) tree makes up approx 77% of our total native forest area. So they're pretty much everywhere 😂We need them for our Koalas and that's a whole other story. Well done to you for your endurance riding, I look forward to following you! I'll continue with my 3 hour trail rides and 1 hour arena lessons. lol @@diaryofanendurancerider
My former home had a lot of deciduous conifers on our property that would lose their needles in the fall and come back in the spring. I forgot the name.
Let go a little bit..
