[drivingpairs] Re: welcome & distance wi pairs

Slow reply Nancy
I started riding them when the weather was bad this spring. Literally 
set my watch for 10 minutes walk, 20 minutes trot, etc. increasing 
weekly.
I now plan on driving them 3-5 days a week , 30 minute trots with 
walking breaks. (Total 1-2 hours) To challenge them more I add 
passengers whenever I can and try to find hills to climb. They are 
turned out 24/7and do get used under saddle occasionally (one gets used 
as a w/t lesson horse). I am trying to do one 15-20 mile trip at least 
once a week.
Still working on the rub problem.
