Ok folks,

 

  I have a question:   If someone was going to be brave/stupid/crazy (fill in your own adjective here) enough to attempt doing a 100 mile ride cavalry, what items would you suggest one carry?

 

I have come up with the following:

• A few bags of dry beet pulp
• powered electrolytes
• dosing syringe
• small collaspable bucket
• flashlight/ extra batteries
• emergency blanket (those little silver ones)
• roll-up rump rug
• one water bottle
• small vaseline
• little bit of duct tape and several zip ties  (they are really better than duct tape)
• extra pair of small ankle boots (horse)
• one vet wrap
• one easy boot
• about 6-8 feet of small nylon rope  (I thought it could be used to tether horse at VC's)
• small baby powder (for me and horse)
• A little bit of human food

Any ideas?  while keeping the bulk down?

 

Don't know that I would do this....but I am exploring the possibilities.
