endurance driving/spongeing from a cart

["robert and carla lawson" <robandcarla@hotmail.com>]

I would highly reccomend trying to find maybe a sulky? they are very light 
weight. tires would probably need to be all rubber with no way to go flat. 
Which would suck because the last thing you want is to have to deal with a 
flat and I am not sure Easy Care makes Easy tires!
aluminum or titanium would be best. Titanium although extremely high priced 
is very light flexable and can take some abuse.
To sponge on the fly you need to get those dumbells going and take some 
lessons from Doug Flutie or Payton Manning. If you are trying a two horse 
drive you may want to use something like a bull whip that way if you come 
upon some trees you can kind of dangle the end a tad and let it drip on them 
as they go by.
or you can kind of have people along the trail kind of tackle them with wet 
blankets as they go by.. that could get messy but imagine the despooking 
your horse would get.course if you can sponge on the fly as described by 
Angie then maybe you can also do a reverse sponge on the fly..how ever your 
horse may think you are beating the snot out of them. You could cowboy it 
and have an extra rider go up there and sponge em for you. Just a few 
thoughts. Can you tell its been a long day?

Ansata (ekkk a puddle!!!)
Haley (she gets the sponge great but it always flys and hits me in the 
nose..)
