Going the distance!
What’s the best way of trying out endurance, before deciding whether or not to take it up more seriously?
Relaxation techniques

Pulling a fast one!
I bought my hot-headed, six-year old mare when she was three - she'd been backed and turned away. I brought her back into work for 18 months, but then turned her away for a year to mature. I am now riding her again and she's going well, except that she does everything at breakneck speed. When she goes into trot, she just wants to canter, so I let her, mainly to wear her out. What can I do to slow her down?
