For me it depends on whether its a familiar field or not and what it USED to be. When I do old cattle pastures it seems the faster I go the harder it is to stay in the seat.

Those are usually pretty slow days with a lot of discovery. But when I go back in a month or two its always much much faster since the 12' tall saplings aren't there anymore and its mostly just grass growing up.
