Just wondering how long peoples canter stretches are. The long one i used to do along the side of the road on the farmers field ive stopped doing as i got told not to ride along the grass strip. That use to be a good 800 metres. So my longest stretch now is about 150 across the top of the hill. But i have to stop half way to duck under a couple of trees.
There is one thats about 500 metres on a permisive bridleway but its so rutted i dont like cantering it.
I will only have one short canter on a hack so i wonder how people get there horses fit if they only have a short canter stretch on a hack. I know its the boys downfall if i go on a funride with them. The adrenaline gets them round 10 miles. But how do all these xc eventers get there horses fit and do all those big fences.
