Can only talk about what is practiced in this part of the world
and "crew" is not the term for it. Entourage, retinue, babysitters. trail
flatteners....any and all of those apply. Just once I'd like to see one of the
guys from the Gulf with a hoofpick....

There are lots of us! It was a special treat when riding FEI
to have crew! More than I wanted really..........
By
"designated crew" I meant that one extra person who sets out
the feedstuff, gets the e'lyte syringes ready, untacks and sponges (or
blankets, depending on the weather) the horse while the rider dashes for
the potty or a clothes change (and watches all inflows and outgoes to
report to the rider), and maybe trots out the horse so the rider can
watch with the vet. LOL! I wasn't talking about "crew" in the FEI sense.
