Roger,

I think the only reason the "carb wars" were wars was that ti was
sooooo...."ti".  He was sort of like a dog who'd been jabbed until it was
really mean.  If he even *thought* you might be threatening he
bit...HARD!  Made me want to argue with him whether I agreed with him or
not. >g< Discussion of the carbs is a heck of a lot more interesting and
relevent than most of what I'm getting on here lately...and it doesn't
lend itself to mindless chit chat.

So... I am curious, and I haven't been on Ti's list.  I see the times
posted for some of the foreign FEI races... and I see the LACK of hold
times.  Incredibly small amounts.  I see those people passing rules to
*limit* the number of holds. Are they fueling these horses with
carbo-charge.  Does less hold time benefit them?  Will a horse's gut
continue to move with just carbs or must he not EAT?

I read the article in "The Horse" that was posted.  They said it wasn't
so much *how much* grain you fed as "how much at a time" (that could over
do it).  I've been feeding more grain during rides but was curious as to
where "the line" falls.  Any opinions on this?  Susan?

P.S.  Talked to a CT rider who said wild hogs are a big problem at BSF
this year.  You were just up there...any news?

Angie (from carbs to hogs...see Scott...you really *can* combine messages
instead of sending 10 individuals!)
