Going the Distance: the Sport of Competitive Trail Driving by Linda Gasparini Even before I purchased my first horse--a Barb mare—when I was a young adult, I was drawn to explore deep into the far reaches of thickly wooded tracts. So it was only natural that when my wanderlust was upgraded from long hikes to even longer carriage drives, it led me to a sport that embraced this constant quest to explore new trails. The sport is distance driving or, more accurately, Competitive Trail Driving (CTD), and for those of us who just can’t seem to get enough time in the woods with our equine companions, it’s the perfect pursuit. |

Why is it called endurance? (long true story) by Nicco Murphy, San Diego County I noticed that my friend`s dog was about to trod on a rattle snake as we took our evening walk along the top of a local hill. Calling her now would probably just stop her right on top of the rattler so I let her go on. These snakes rarely seem to strike the first person on the trail and take time to warm up to a biting fit. The dog made it over safely stepping on and waking the snake in the process. |

~ Plan your ride carefully. Plan a ride time based on past ride times, weather, trail conditions and the state of conditioning of your horse. Ride to your plan, not to what other horses are doing! |
