Re: [RC] Beet pulp... - Beth WalkerReally?But then, I've been told I'm spoiled. Terry Woolley-Howe manages 3 or more rides down here. The vet checks always have: Hay (generally 2 or 3 kinds), wet bran mash - with and without grain, with carrots added, horse drinking water and sponging buckets (with sponges). For the riders, the vet checks have Gatorade and water, fresh cut fruit and donut holes. Sometimes other stuff as well. Lunch stops have lunch provided. She usually has arranged for horse water out on the trail if there isn't any on a long loop. All you really have to bring is an extra sponge (they can be in short supply), any elites or special food, first aid, or other personal supplies and a horse blanket if it is cold. If you go to a "Terry Ride", you get pampered. :) On Jun 27, 2007, at 9:56 AM, Spottedracer@xxxxxx wrote: I've also never seen a ride where management supplied anything other then the 'natural forage available at VC'... On the other hand, all of us riders end up providing a 'buffet of hays' - if your horse doesn't want his - and the horse next to him wants to 'switch piles'... we just do it.. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
