Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Refusing entry to rides [was How Sad]

Quoted from Kerry Dykes's message:

That was the reason I put in my email "(the issue aside of how I might have 
found this out)" because I don't know of a practical way to find this 
out.  That's also why I decided to ask how, instead, riders could be 
induced to stay overnight, so that hopefully any problems that might arise 
as a result of the additional stress of trailering on top of participating 
in the ride could be avoided entirely, or any marginal horses would have 
the benefit of the ride vet's being right there to deal with it (assuming 
the ride vet, too, could be induced to stay!)
