[RC] McGyver Moves on the trail - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Chris Littlefield clittlefield@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Recently my horse nicked himself above the hoof with a piece of glass that was hidden in a hole that we did not see. Although the injury wasn't serious, that cut just would not stop bleeding. Seeing how we were training 10 miles from home, I had to come up with something or stand there on the side of the road applying pressure. All of the sudden a thought came across...I pulled out my chap stick, applied some liberally on my lips and used the rest to plug the hole! Vanilla mint wax saved the day! It really did work! What inventive solutions have others come up with for emergencies while away from home? ===========================================================There is something so magical about being out at night after being on the trail all day on a long 100 with miles left to go. ~ Tom Noll ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
