    [RC] people food at rides - Dot Wiggins


    I've had good luck with Ensure, Boost, or the like, before and at checks.   Also mix Red Bull about half and half with water, carry that and plain water.  Really like Goo or Power Gel,  use one every loop, maybe 2 if it's a long way, with plenty of water.   Bananas are ok sometimes, at least in camp, an apple sometimes goes down ok.  If not the horse likes it.  Candy bars with lots of nuts sometimes.   Water is a must, even if it's warm.  Bottles filled part way and frozen, then filled will be fluid but cool for quite a while.
    Yogurt is useful post ride when you are not really hungry but need something.
    Nite before any kind of pasta is good.
