Indecision! Will Celia slow for you and still be happy if you take Rusty and ride conservatively?
Yeah, I think she would. But she'll probably say, Oh, he'll be fine:)
She's one of those who think once a horse has been conditioned for long distance, it doesn't take much to keep them there. I've known her to take a horse she has only rode maybe twice a month and do a 60 mile competitive ride. Her response is "he did it". And even tho the horse did it with no lose of P&R points, they usually come up sore somewhere. She thinks the vet was either wrong about the soreness or that it had nothing to do with the horses condition.
We fuss about this all the time:)
