Cardio – 4 KM Canter
Kate and I went out on Oz and Gamble, respectively today and did 8 minutes of trot work (roughly 2 km) and then 4 km of canter work. Clandeboye Road was wet but mostly bare of snow, so footing was good. Oz played games a bit at the start, but then settled in. Here are our splits: 3:55 (trot) 3:38 (trot) (walk break) 2:23 (canter) 2:17 (canter) 2:28 (canter) 2:06 (canter) We were aiming for Training level pace (2:15/km) so, on average, we were fairly close — 2:18.5 on average.

Off Track Eventing: Strength shows not only in the ability to persist, but the ability to start over
Welcome to Off Track Eventing! This website is dedicated to the (horse) trials and tribulations of an eventer and their dedicated groom who are tied together by their admiration of Off The Track Thoroughbreds (well, that and their family tree). Follow the blogs of Bruce Lamb (Eventer) and Kate Veinot (Dedicated Groom & Recreational Rider), enjoy interviews & audit reports with top clinicians, and articles containing valuable lessons learned during their adventures! Not everyone gets it right the first time, including our ex-race horses. We’re willing to share our adventures with the world so we can learn from each other’s successes and mistakes (mostly that of the later on this site). We hope you enjoy, discuss, laugh, and ride on!
