I keep reading that a fairly notable cost
to RMs is hay/feed/carrots/whatever for horses. I have not noticed that RM
consistently provides anything but horse water at ride in the Central Region. I
have no problem at al with this, I am fine with providing all my own horse
treats myself, but feel water is necessary and duly appreciated!!
Although, I have 2 questions about
this --
1 - is this mainly because most CT rides
have in camp vet checks? I would suspect so
2 - everyone always says, make sure your
horse eats at home what you'll feed at a ride - does anyone have any hesitancy
about feeding strange hay/feed to horses at VCs?

the others. In truth, the 25 milers need less in terms of
hay, carrots, volunteers, and even the time with the vets.
