I may have missed part of this discussion, but there are plenty of stops 
along the Tevis trail to allow your horse to eat.  Granted not alot of 
munchies just growing wild beside the trail, but ALL of the vet checks 
provide plenty of hay/carrots/bran mashes along the way.  Someone mentioned 
there only being 3.  That is incorrect.  I won't bother to count them up now, 
but there are multiple places along the way where feed is supplied by the 
ride.  It really is an incredibly well run and well organized ride.  The real 
secret is to TAKE THE TIME along the way to let your horse eat!.  The Tevis 
volunteers are absolutely the best and I'm sure hoping they have those PB&J 
sandwiches for the riders at Franciscos this year <g>.
