We are headed out to Bryce tomorrow am and we were
taking 3 horses. One of the horses is sick and can't go, so I am
contemplating taking different mare. She is well conditioned and ready
to do a 50, however she has been on pasture only. Usually when the
horses go to a ride, I have them accustomed to eating hay, beet pulp and a
whatever amount of LMF they require to maintain good condition. I am
concerned about changing this mare from pasture to hay and hauling her at
the same time so
I am considering not taking her. Am I
making too big of a deal out of this? I would love to hear what you all
have to say regarding this. I know that people who did the XP ride
have said that their horses enjoyed the variety, but that was with different
hay, not hay to pasture. Any comments would be greatly
appreciated! Thanks in advance!
