[RC] Cavalry rides - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Jody Rogers-Buttram jody.buttram@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== <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." This was the case at many rides here in the SE as well. And yes the management would let the riders know at the ride meeting if there were checks with little or no grass. So, they had to plan ahead...maybe that makes it all the more a challenge. :) Does anyone know where (what ride) this idea originated? Joe Long--do you remember??? Jody ===========================================================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 ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
