    [RC] Hydration - Annie George


    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.
