2. For ride managers - what was the best thing you ever did at your
> ride to make it easier for you?

Large white-boards with all distances, all horse and rider teams,
and all vet checks written on them - placed where all riders and
crews can see them. As the ride progresses the
info (time in, time out, placement, etc) is entered on the board.
There for all to see - and it eliminates some of the thousands of pieces
of paper that end up circulating through management.

This plus having a computer and someone to the enter data on it
working all day. EasyCare has written a program to do just this,
which I *will* have for our next ride. I've done it before using
Excel, but the EasyCare program provides a database of AERC
horse and rider numbers and sounds like a real time saver!
