The Carbo load controversy again

["Budler,Cindy" <natcon@afrox.boc.com>]

Hi all,

As most people know our national championships are coming up in 3 weeks- 200
km's over 3 days. I have been wondering about this carbo thing for quite a
while now and have been playing with the idea of using it for this ride. Not
pre-loading but maybe having Carbo-charge available for day 2 and 3 to be
given in the 2 hour protocols. We are not planning a fast ride and maybe I
am being a bit stupid to do this with a horse that will not be working hard.
Is this product really only aimed at the front runners? I am scared too
death about taking this step- somehow it just seems "over the top" . Any
advice ? Please , I don't want too start the controversy over again , so
private replies might be better...

Regards,
