Overland speed will probably not be significantly change, unless you do something like the pony express did, with remounts every few miles (I don't remember the average distance between the express stops) and the riders could really push the horses in between the stops.So basically, in real life, it would allow you to fit in an extra hour or two of distance in a given day, since you didn't have to rest your horses nearly so much. It isn't exactly easy on the rider either, BTW.Do we have any enduro horse racers on the boards? Relay what the hundred+ mile race is like for the rider? Let alone the 40? Plus tell how tough it is on the horse too. I only became familiar with it when my daughter was considering getting into it.</blockquote>
