my horse always wants what I "didn't" bring!!  Another
words, everyone else's food is waaaay better than his. 
I've even tried to recreate a riding buddies VC snack for
him, nope, not the same, he still wants the buddy horses'
food.  As for what is at VC's, the most I've seen in the
Pacific Nortwest is hay, carrots/apples, people water and
lately snacks for riders.  Sponging buckets and sometimes
sponges supplied.  Never seen a mash supplied by
management, that's a new one.
