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.
