Lif, Were you there at the last minute when there was no time for a 
"volunteer briefing"?  If not add "volunteer meeting" to the list of pre-ride 
duties for RM's. also, all volunteers should know the "chain of command" or 
is that too much to ask? I am asking sincerely here, if I were at some other 
horse event (X-country, for example) and somebody asked me to do a turn at a 
task, would I know who to go to for answers?  I probably would because I 
don't go into those situations without knowing, but does everyone? 

While were at it... can we start a list a duties for a RM, how about if I 
start with an item. This hopefully will end up as a primer for "How to put on 
a ride". 



1. Idenitfy trails.
