Subject: [endurance] RE: Rain Pancho & Etiquette
On a trail ride I wore a yellow rain suit. My horse was OK, but
another nearby horse was upset by my rain gear. It was not clear to
me
whether the color, noise, movement, or all of these caused the
reaction by
the other horse.
As a consideration to other riders, do any of you avoid using rain
gear or
avoid using certain types of rain gear?
My question could even be broadened to create a list of "endurance
riding
etiquette". Are there certain "rules" that most riders abide by,
that
novices might be unaware of?
The advice I have read on endurance riding seem to only address the
most
obvious, such as:
- passing other horses and allowing horses to pass you
- waiting while another horse drinks before proceeding
- not cooling your horse down over the drinking water trough
