[RC] Eating at rides - Chipnml

I didn't get the email of the person who could not eat at rides.  I just wanted to say how very important it is for us to learn to do this!  If we don't take care of ourselves, our horses will be the ones who suffer!  I look at eating  and drinking as "medicating" myself....in other words something I may not always want to do, but is necessary.  For the person who could not eat at rides, I suggest she experiment with the different power bars and gels (such as Gu, etc) until she finds something she can get down.  Also, drinks like Ensure.  Try different flavors.  These are concentrated and pack a lot of nutrients in a small package.
