[RC] Soaking hay - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

A good idea might be to try it alot at home before a trip.  My two horses don't 
like it too much when I soak their hay.  One is better than the other, but 
still not wild about it.  If I hose it down well, but not soak it, they like it 
better.  They start to eat it and after about 10 minutes, they don't want it 
any more.  I think if you soak beet pulp well and they will eat it, that would 
be good with not a high likelihood of choking.  I don't tie my horses' head so 
if they need to cough they can.

===========================================================There are 2 ways to 
win at this sport. You take a horse and race him for a
short time and then find a new horse or you can take one horse , do the
homework and spend many miles and years enjoying that horse.
