Re: [RC] Beet pulp... - heidi larson

my horse always wants what I "didn't" bring!!  Another
words, everyone else's food is waaaay better than his. 
I've even tried to recreate a riding buddies VC snack for
him, nope, not the same, he still wants the buddy horses'
food.  As for what is at VC's, the most I've seen in the
Pacific Nortwest is hay, carrots/apples, people water and
lately snacks for riders.  Sponging buckets and sometimes
sponges supplied.  Never seen a mash supplied by
management, that's a new one.

Really?

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.   :)

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..

Now, I'll feed a HAY at VC that my horse isn't used to
- but I'd  
never feed a grain/mash/concentrate that they aren't
used to.. Been  
told to many horrer stories about colics/metabolics
because of that!
