Maggie, I love my collapsible bucket, use it all
the time. But remember, even if I do ride endurance instead of
competitive, I don't have a crew so don't have access to water. When I
cross a creek that the horse can't get into, the bucket sure is handy. In
fact my mare stops at the water and waits for me to go and get her water.
So don't be afraid to use them as awards. And yes, I know Nelson will hand
me water if I ride endurance. He is a true blue crew guy for all of
us. Jeanie
