While it may not be in the AERC rules since the AERC rules only apply 
from the time you check in until you get your completion - it is sure a 
rule a RM could add - with the proper notification. Of course if it 
wasn't done a basecamp a rider could stop by a private barn and 
rehydrate prior to arriving at basecamp.

While I'm not so much bother about the horses being given fluids after 
such a long trip - there should be a time limit prior to the ride where 
it cannot be done.

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of 
one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that 
oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the 
beginning if it is to be stopped at all."   H. L. Mencken
