Re: RC: eating

[Trailrite@aol.com]

I responded to this earlier, maybe it didn't go through!  For what it's worth 
here it is again.

> It's not really what your horse will eat or not eat, its why.  Horse's 
traveling are either stressed or anxious about something.  The best way to 
solve this problem is to stick with it and do it more.  Ride slowly and make 
the trip a pleasure as best as you can.  When at home, part of conditioning, 
is practicing pretend endurance rides.  Go with buckets and supplements just 
like you would do at going to a real ride.  Make these short trips close to 
home, even if you just trailer one - two miles away from the barn.  Until 
then I wouldn't try and add to much speed to your real rides.  Part of 
endurance is getting through all this stuff.  Best of Luck!
