Re: [RC] So many questions, no little time - Barbara McCrary
You don't need a crew, you don't need gizmos, all you
need is a horse, a saddle that fits him well, a bridle and bit he is happy with,
comfortable clothes for you (recommend tights, not jeans), a helmet (essential,
as far as I'm concerned), comfortable footwear, a spare Easyboot, a couple of
water bottles, and you're ready to go. Gizmos and expensive tack are fun
but not necessary. Crews for a 50 aren't necessary, either. On a
100, that's different. It helps to have someone to think for you when you
become very tired. :-))
My apologies for list clutter. Just kind of
getting overwhelmed. I have a question bout crews. Specifically, I
will be doing the 50 and Missouri Final Fling the day after
Thanksgiving. Will I really need a crew for a 50? I think
normally, I could get some great crew folks but the day after Thanksgiving may
prove much more difficult. What exactly is it I need a crew to do for
me? Is that particular ride feasible without a crew?
I'd also like to see someone's list (and there
has to be list makers on here) for what is an essential thing to take and what
is just comfort or efficiency to take. This will definitey be a bare
bones trip for me as I can't justify acquiring potentially $1,000s worth of
stuff only to discover it doesn't appeal to me after I've run one or
two. So what for you makes a significant amount of impact that you would
say, "If I don't have such and such with me, I might as well stay
home."
