[RC] Beet Pulp - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: ti Tivers@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Trial and error, reading and trying, watching and trying, figuring out from facts - scientific or not, being willing to listen and then apply to one's own situation all add up to doing a job well with one's horse. I still don't feed beet pulp, don't elyte alot, do do sprints, and still have a horse on trail after 13 seasons with her. Jeanie> Yep. That's the way you move forward. What works is real, whether JAVA or JAMA has seen the tree fall in the forest or not. Make your 3000 mistakes and you're an "expert". But that takes time. More fun to leapfrog a few of them by picking up facts, from the science, or from the hard-earned experience of others. Sorting fact from opinion is the trick, and, actually, it's pretty easy, once you can recognize shallow thought for what it is. But once in a while, opinion can be worthwhile as well. For example, many times I have to get an "opinion" from one of my own consultants. Information not directly derived from either personal experience or the scientific literature. There are a few I trust for this kind of thing because I know they'll give it considerable thought before uttering a word. Those who know how easy it is to make one of those 3000 critical mistakes. More often than not, though, what follows is a reasonably scientific field test of that opinion. It either works or it doesn't, and you move on. Keep on winning, Jeanie. ti =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
