Horsey Riding

***Valandil*** · 03-07-2005, 08:46 AM

Not certain this is the best forum, but I have a question about horseback riding. I'm putting it here because it involves a bit of writing I hope to do.

How far might someone be expected to ride a horse each day? This is the same rider, same horse. Distances for both roads and open terrain (let's say no roads, but no mountains either - maybe some woodlands, some open grasslands...) would be appreciated.

Also - how far would it be for a very long extended trip and how far for a short spurt of 2-4 days? How far would be a 'standard' amount - and how far for pushing the limits of human and equine endurance?
