Re: RE: [RC] water troughs - A. Perez

I"...! I can handle that. If there IS no water...TELL ME!"

I absolutely agree with that!  I did not hear all of the ride
talk, I am surprised they didn't go over the rules.  I wonder if
it was a last-minute decision made because of the chaos at the
check?

My horse DEPENDS on my decisions for his well being during a

even his life. When poorly marked trail makes my horse do

extra miles and he

(and other horses) are denied water because ride management

didn't tell me

the rules or didn't provide water or amenities for my HORSE

that were

And that's my last word on this subject. 'Nuff said.

Probably they should have put a trough somewhere on the road
before or after the check, if there was a decent place for

one.


Or again, just put a bunch of buckets at the trough for people

to use, if

congestion was the issue.

(And I'll reiterate--with regard to spread of disease, dipping

your clean

bucket into the trough where somebody just dipped their bucket

that their

horse just blew snot all over does not ensure that you will

get

uncontaminated water...)
