Re: [RC] Drinking Water - Advantage SaddlesHow competitively are you riding this horse? The faster you go, the less likely he is to learn to drink, IMO. Katee Have you ever had a horse that did NOT learn to drink/eat from doing multiday(s)? (after VC/treatment for ulcers; dentistry; worming.) --Dabney (still trying to find out whether to give up on her skinny project horse!) ============================================================ The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable, while keeping one's horse fit to continue. Taking the clock out of the equation makes it another sport altogether. The challenge is how to keep the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that we don't cross it. ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
