NATRC DOES NOT restrict water consumption. Most p&r stops ask you to stand
in one spot for 10 min between check in and out. Then you are free to water
or do whatever with your horse. YOU CAN WATER THEM BEFORE THE P&R if it was
not "continous motion into the p&r
NATRC
is an excellent organization that prides itself on horse care and
horsemanshp, . NATRC has a specific judge for this, the horsemanship judge,
in addition to the vet judge.
One of the prime areas that the horsemanship judge looks for is trail and
camp care of the horse, or mule, tack rubs, etc. Horsemanship is much more
than the way you set your horse, or point your toes.
NATRC teaches horsemanship, thats one of the things i really like about
it. Its not fun being judged from checkin to checkout, but if you want to
learn the proper ways to horse camp and trail ride this is an excellent way
and an excellent organization. I don't agree with some things, but the
overall organization is dedicated to horse, and horsemanship.
IMOP don't want to start a debate about NATRC just want to cut off
misconception about watering
