I'm usually in the Mature Riders' section but this seems a general question.
How do people assess their speed when riding?
A horseman I much respect from the First World War period advised his troops not to trot at more than 8 miles an hour.
How fast is 8 mph? And is there any well known way to tell how fast one is travelling on horseback?
