I, for one, have a really hard time making myself eat during a ride. No matter the weather, the idea of fighting my way through a sandwich... ugh. So I just tough it out, drink my electrolytes and try to force down a handful of trail mix (or steal a carrot) when I can. Only learned to force myself to eat this past summer when I came in almost too lightheaded and nauseated to trot my horse out on a particularly hot day.
This year I'm thinking of trying drinkable soup to get a little more substance without the need to chew. Tomato soup is just as good hot or cold, so that's my No. 1 candidate. I also like the idea of fresh fruit on hot days—it's relatively inexpensive and not as subject to picky eaters as sandwiches can be. :)
