I am going to tackle the Death Valley Encounter this year (finally!!)
and would like to beg some information off of those ridecampers that
have done this ride before. I realize this year is a different course,
but the logistics are basically the same.
1. How much water should I bring for one horse? The entry says
riders must be totally self-sufficient.
2. Considering how crusty these ponies get, how should I go about
keeping him clean if the weather is cold, windy and wet? Normally, I
bathe him with warm water, put some coolers on him and put him in a dry
stall until he's dried and out he goes, but for these circumstances,
what do you do?
3. Should I consider trace-clipping him? I've heard that it gets
cold enough on this ride that the water buckets ice over.
Any other information and "I lived thru it, so don't you go and do it"
stories would be tremendously appreciated.
Thx!!
Jen & the Sunman
