Re: [RC] vet check questions - brejd Just a short note on soaking the BP. I find I have a better chance of it arriving at a check with whatever I may have added by putting it into a small Ice chest, tapeing it shut (duck tape is the best) on hot rides it stays cooler...cold rides I add hot water and it stays warmer. It is always fresh and they eat right out of the cooler. What they do not eat at the checks I feed when I get back to camp....the food is already made and ready...just dump into their feed pan...add a few carrots et and away I go. Droy

Any theories as to why? Also, any other horses out there who do this? I will be bringing hay, BP mash, apples and carrots, but I would be very worried if he refused to eat his BP. Again, thanks in advance.
