Actually, I really did do this at my first ride, years ago.  Didn't even own 
a tent back then.  I was sleeping in my horse trailer, it got incredibly 
cold, I was not prepared (geez, what a surprise), and had moved my Coleman 
lamp close to me for warmth.  It was one of those older model Colemans, the 
kind where you had to pour in some type of camping oil, pump it up, and 
light the candle. During the night the antique Coleman wandered over to a 
bale of hay, and lit that sucker up.  I was no longer cold.

I do believe it took me over three beers to put out that fire.  Lesson 
learned?  Sleep with some water filled containers so you don't waste good 
beer putting out a bad fire.

cya,
Howard (and, that was just the beginning of an adventure that never seems to 
end, when it comes to endurance and me)

We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and
alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools
available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses
and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes.
