I've done the last two rides "sort of" crewless.
One was a fifty. I had help at the vet checks from a friend's husband, but I
did the set-up packing, unpacking and lunch stop at base camp by myself.

We have done several LD rides crewless. The bathroom stop in 20 minutes is very
difficult with a stallion. Can't just trust anyone to hold him because he
doesn't feel obligated to obey strangers when mares walk by. IMAGINE that!!!

Doing the longer rides crewless is truely an endurance test. When you get home
on Sunday you're really tired. But...oh well....it beats not going at all. <s>
