Nobody's mentioned my horses' favorite.  After untacking, if there is a 
decent or prospective rolling spot in camp, we head there.  Then down 
time for a half hr with a sloppy lyte mash.  Then a bit of cleanup and 
vet for completion.  Then look for that rolling spot again (or a better 
one) and a 2 hr nap before I touch 'em.

Both of my horses are skilled at rolling in hand.  The kid learned it 
at home ,flip-flopping back and forth, high-centering, and you can bet 
I know where to stand for safety.  Ember didn't learn it until many 
years into her career and quickly perfected it.

Then of course part of the ritual is OPF, sniffed out on our walks 
every few hours and the next morning.  Other Peoples' Food, of course.  
Why beet pulp is so scrumpy if it's dumped out at someone's campsite 
who left early is beyond me.
