    Re: [RC] [RC] Now staying after rides - Nancy Mitts


    Lif,
    I'm getting a bit of a chuckle over this, I really am. (And we always stay the night after a ride.)
    I guess all you can do is tell them the benefits of staying, how if they cared about their loved one (horse) they would stay for them, etc. How expensive the vet bills will be if they make their horse sick, how will they pay for them? The horse could die...Beginning to sound like a familiar arguement?
    I think most people think it is their right to go home when they see fit
    and would resent anyone controlling their travel plans as much or more than their headgear or lack thereof. All you can do is tell them it would be better for the horse, and then let them go if they choose.

    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!)
