Re: Re: Feeding During an Endruance Ride

I think one of the unwritten rules in endurance should be that everyone should have to set a pile of their hay, one of their glop, and one of their misc out at the vet checks for any one to partake of....there would be a veritable smorgasbord laid out at every check...of course, realistically that would be a bad idea because our horses would be partaking of food stuff they may not be used to...so..never mind  ;>}

my friend brought hay cubes which she couldn't get enough of.  Next time I'll take hay cubes and hopefully she'll still eat them. 

Susan - it won't work.  Everyone knows that no matter what you bring for your horse to eat, it will prefer to eat whatever the next horse has and turn its nose up at the 15 choices you have provided.  Thats one of the unwritten rules of endurance riding.  Lif
