[RC] Feeding before a ride/load limits - rides2farOK Susan, I like to ask *new* questions and I do not believe you've ever answered this one. This is something that Jody & I have been batting back and forth this weekend. She's thoroughly enjoying making fun of my new wonderhorse who is perfect in EVERY way other than the fact that his belly is monumental. She informed me after doing a loop at Skymont that I can never bring 7 there since there are several trees he will not fit between. I countered that with *his* food/water carrying capacity he should be able to go 50 miles without a drink or bite of food, and with his ability to scarf down any food in his vicinity in record time he will get as much good out of a 20 minute hold as others do from a 1 hr. hold. Nevermind that he will be re-writing the grade scale on gut sounds. That said, looking at my horse, and contemplating his positive assets. I'm curious as to whether a large capacity on a small horse actually is a matter of bringing more along...or is there air in there or something? (If so I'd love a tip on where the valve is) Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
