> My boss just brought in her latest Arabian Horse
> Magazine, and while browsing it I saw an ad for the
> first annual AHA Trail Ride. It's located within
> driving distance (albeit a long haul) from me at Fort
> Robinson Nebraska, which is a place I've always wanted
> to ride. So I contemplated going - all meals served,
> the chance to meet Sheila Varian, fun horseback games,
> riding near buffalo etc. I'm not into group trail
> rides but this one sounded like an exception. THEN I
> read the trail etiquette page and what I saw reminded
> me why I don't want to ride in a group that isn't
> comprised of distance riders. It says: "When watering
> along the trail don't allow your horse to 'guzzle'
> water; they should only be allowed small amounts at
> each watering hole", and "After he is cooled out, give
> him small amounts of water until he is satisfied.
> Practice the same routine with feed. Digestion
> requires blood, and if the horse is fatigued, he needs
> the blood to replenish his system. Too many demands
> upon his system may give him colic. Start with a small
> amount of feed, with the major feeding later that
> evening.". Gawd, I hope they really do mean FEED and
> not HAY in regard to this directive. There's no
> mention of how to feed hay at all, so who knows.... OK
> - this is not my ball of wax. Guess I'll stick to
> plain horse camping and distance events...Kristi
