I sleep poorly the night before. The
horses are in a high metal corral, nice and safe. We put out a lot of hay
and let them nibble all night. Breakfast: Fruit (no orange juice....too
diuretic), cereal. Usually can't eat very much as I'm too nervous.
Snacks: Any kind of nutrition bar....whatever kind you like. I like
Balance Gold...more like a candy bar than some others and nicely filling.
Lots of water. Lunch back at the trailer: Yogurt settles nicely in a
nervous stomach, very nutritious.
Okay... I've posted about the ride, now more questions. A whole
list of them! ;)
First of all: how do you sleep at night before the ride? What do
you do with your horses? I am looking for alternatives to sleeping in
the bed of the truck and just tying...
What do you eat for breakfast? I had to survive on 2 hard boiled
eggs and some water... which, I don't doubt is more than some people
get!
What do you pack for snacks? Are there any particular brands of
anything that are especially helpful and/or filling?
I'm sure I'll come up with more questions later, lol..

============================================================ Riding alone is
when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the
trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the
"bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland
