Re: RC: Hot weather syndrome

Good point, but these rides had problems on the second day of 
competition, the horses had been on site for three days.   However, 
they were in stalls, eating hay, not grass.  No avoiding that as a 
factor.  At the PAC the change of diet was what most people 
blamed problems on.  But HOW does one avoid that???  And, at 
Vermont 100 endurance, where many horses were so local that 
they rode 2-3 miles to the start of the ride (ie, they spent the night 
in their very own beds) and we still had tons of problems.  
Frustrating, huh?
