Quick question.

 I have to trailer for an hour then I ride at the walk for about an 
hour then I trailer home for an hour.  The hour on the trails is hilly 
so the horse is working up a good sweat.  We are JUST starting 
conditioning.  Should I feed before heading out and if so how long 
before or would you feed after getting back home?  I have been waiting 
and feeding after we get home but I'm wondering if this is not the best 
idea.  He is out 24/7 on pasture with hay in front of them also.  I 
grain a 10% grain right now (2 lbs per feeding) and some soaked beet pulp.
He is an Aware of everything around him at all times Arab so I've been 
worried about him getting an upset stomach if I fed him before the 
trailering and riding.

Thanks for any input.

Kathy
