Hi Becky,
Glad to hear you are feeling better, I really was worried
about you! Ken taught me a good trick yesterday when we were dying from
the heat and unloading everything from the ride. When you start to feel
overheated put cold water bottles or ice packs under your armpits. It
really works! I know , the problem is that if you had cold bottles or ice
you would have drank the stuff and wouldn't be feeling so bad in the first place
:0)
Fred Beason, the head vet at Norco, talked at ride meeting
how important it is for riders to take of themselves as well as the
horses. I think we all forget about that. Karen Sweaney told me
her nutritionist recommended using pedilyte in her water. That has
worked well for me in hot weather. I mix 1/2 pedilyte with 1/2 lemon
flavored crystal light water. It tastes good even after it gets a little
warm and doesn't upset my stomach like gatorade. That Propel tastes pretty
good too doesn't it?
Congratulations on surviving Norco!
Julie H.
