BIG difference if the horses is allowed to drink before weighing..also makes
a BIG difference how much he eliminated on trail and just before the
weighing. I only make this comment because I don't remember anyone taking
this into account at this ride. It didn't occur to me until another group of
researchers were at a Michigan ride last year and they made a point of doing
their weight BEFORE the horse had a chance to drink or eliminate (at least
within our eyesight).
