Product Description

Book Description

The definitive guide to long distance riding, written by a leading equine veterinarian and endurance ride official. Featuring 100 photos. No other equestrian sports demand such a continuous training effort as do endurance and competitive distance riding. To reach the highest level of the sports--competing in a 100-mile ride--requires years of careful conditioning. In Go the Distance, Dr. Nancy Loving--a top veterinarian, endurance rider, and judge--clearly explains everything a rider needs to know, from selecting a horse to evaluating fitness and nutrition. Chapters include: Intelligent Nutrition, Conditioning Principles and Training Philosophy, Evaluating Fitness, Conditioning for Specific Terrain and Climatic Factors, Cooling Strategies, and Evaluation of Metabolic Health and Soundness. If you are an experienced distance rider, this is essential reading to improve your training and competitive skills. If you are just beginning, Go the Distance will safely guide you and your horse along the miles. Nancy Loving lives in Boulder, Colorado. 264 pp 6 x 9 100 b/w photos, 22 drawings and charts

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect book for ANYONE - well recommended, Aug 24 2000
By A Customer
Written by a veterinarian, this book could be so techincal in nature that only another scientist or veterinarian would be able to comprehend everything. But it's not. This book is written in such a way as to make the information perfect accessible to anyone. Dr. Loving goes into appropriate detail about every aspect of endurance riding. Most importantly, she writes in such a clear and concise manner as to make even the more difficult subjects to comprehend, such as the finer points of conformation and the metabolic health of your horse. Well worth the money, this book goes into greater depth in the care of your horse, without confusing the reader. Photos throughout the pages, taken by the author, illustrate major points and drawings go into detail about the inner workings of your horse. If you are interested in starting endurance riding, or take it very seriously and want to do everything right ... either way, this book should be read and re-read as often as needed.
