I answered Liz privately, as I have expressed my
opinion here, more than once. But I will summarize: I have not used
elytes in over a year now- a hot mountainous 75 mile win, BCs, top tens,
lots of completions on five different horses in several
regions.
I have to comment on the current 'sweat'
issue. It started when Liz said her horse has thick foamy sweat at the
beginning of the ride---some horses do that---it is not an indication of lack of
condition, but results from a nervous horse who is working too hard. I
have seen it many times, and my main horse, Equal Terms does it every
ride. She is certainly fit.
Leaving for Wolverine 100 now-
Ride safe-
