Tights/heat exhaustion



Hi Ridecampers!
 
Just had my boy Viktor's stifles injected,so I sat out Goethe(BOO HOO)I did wake up at the correct time Sat morning(five)just to think about all of my friends getting ready for the ride.My heart was out there with you on the trail,grls!
As a mother of a 3.5 year old son,I"m often in the heat chasing my son.Usually can't ride until nine am,in the summer that's HOT.I try to drink a sportsbottle(24oz)before I attempt anything.Then(just like my horse)I drink,drink,drink at every opportunity.My guy is good at standing quietly during a "bush" stop!At one vet check,I pulled off my helmet and poured cold water over my head-perfect!I know it's important to take care of your horse,but you need to take care of yourself as well.Who is going to break down camp and drive home in three hours of pouring rain?You are!
 
Happy trails,
Alicia and Viktor
