    rides? >>
    
    Hi Patti,
    
    I drink "Ultra Fuel"...  If you can stand a sweet taste, these are great.  
    (my husband hates them, says they are to sweet) I get my Ultra Fuel at 
    Krogers (grocery store).  They have many different flavors, my favorite being 
    the Grape. (and no this has nothing to do with my purple craze either <g>)
    
    I make sure to drink one Friday night before the ride, 1 at the checks and 
    one after completion, unless of course someone puts a beer in my hand 
    first... But we are talking about staying hydrated here...  The ONLY thing I 
    don't like about the Ultra Fuel, is it comes in a glass bottle, so filling up 
    your water bottles, to take on trail with you is a must.  And of course, the 
    calorie count... WOW 400 calories in 1 serving...  I would gladly copy down 
    the label if you would like.  I can tell a definite difference when I don't 
    have my Ultra Fuel... It helps w/ muscle soreness as well.
    
    Of course it is still fun to sit in your muck bucket and play with the 
    sponges, after the ride.  Doing this you can expect an amassed look on your 
    horses face...
    
    Hope this helps...
