[RC] Calvary and the East - Michael MaulIn response to:"Someone posted earlier today about the OD ride having a calvary division. It used to be much more common for that about 16 years ago. In fact, the ROC that I did, had riders in that division. Most of the 100 mile rides (here in the SE) had this division. "This would not work well in W, PS, and SW for most of the year because there's not much to eat between vet checks. I tend to see this as something that's more possible in regions where there's grass year round. " Cavalry riders will be informed during the Pre-Ride Briefing as to the availability of natural grazing at each Vet Check. If a Vet Check has no natural grazing and the rider feels it important to plan on feeding at this point, he should make efforts to stop along the trail prior to or after the Vet Check to graze his horse." Mike ============================================================ Personally, I shouldn't give a s--- where the other people on the course are, and if I find myself starting to concern myself over this, I remind myself that this is the first step on the road to overriding my horse and tell myself to "knock it off!" :) ~ Kat Swigart ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
