Re: [RC] [RC] Stopping at water (was:trail etiquette question) - Tina Hicks

Perhaps this is a naive question but have any of you (in the situation 
regarding the crew stops) had other crews NOT offer your horse water if 
you are riding with their riders and water is being handed out???

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've never had that happen. Conversely it
would *never* occur to me or anyone that crews for me not to offer my
water to other horses riding with me.

So, in the hypothetical question about the crew stops.

If their crew is offering my horse water, I will give my
horse the opportunity to drink it (I am NOT going to say to
my horse, "No, no, you can't have this water, you have to
wait 'til we go another few hundred yard."  If my horse
wants to drink the water being offered, I will let it and
thank the crew person kindly.

And yes, I will wait until the other horses are done and the
other people are ready to move on, and then will repeat the
offer when we get to my (hypothetical) crew.
