How fast is a 425 metres per minute xc time?

It depends on your horse- for Reggie, it's a normal sort of canter, no more than what you'd do out hacking. On other horses, it's a real push on.

I'd invest in a stopwatch and measure out the length of a field and work out how long it should take you travelling at the chosen speed, and then spend some time working out how that feels for you and your horse.
