I know
that if I drink allot more the day before or on the drive to BC that I do
better on ride day. I was having a real problem for awhile, then
realized that since I got the new truck I don't have to stop for gas except
about every 400 miles, so I didn't want to stop to pee in between, so I
wouldn't drink as much going down the road. Just stop for gas-pee-walk the
horse, and another 400 miles. Duh!!! Not good. Really Really not good.
I also try to get to rides that are very far away a day early, it gives
both of us a chance to recover. Rehydrate and fill up. But not everybody has the
time to do that I know. Just drinking allot the day before makes a big
difference. Getting in the habit of drinking allot of water all the time, is a
really good habit to have. Annie G.
