Alice,
It is really important that people DO NOT SPONGE out of water troughs. It is
especially awful when the front runners do it and when the back of the
packers get there the water is undrinkable, sweaty and salty. Several rides
(mine included) will disqualify people who put their sponges in the water
troughs.
Scoops can be made out of a gallon bleach or other gallon jug, cut it in
half and tie a snap to it so you can snap it to a d-ring. I have been to
many rides where it is imperative to carry a scoop (ie: deep creeks that the
horses can not safely get into, or drinking fountains and spigets that the
horses have not learned to successfully operate yet, but I am working on
that issue :-0)
I hope this is helpful.
:-) Jessica
