Water vs. Carbos

["Steve Elliott (EQUINE PERFORMANCE)" <eqperform@jps.net>]

       Water is mixed in the carbo charge right? so the secret is water.
Get your horse to drink water before he needs it like a marathon runner.
Now there only one person i know that has her horses  trained to drink,
that is Dolly Decair,  amazing.  Now running long distance for humans is
water and everything to suger load, but desnt seem to work as the stomach
says no way   we can force this a cause a stomach ache.  We know this but
do our horses, man over matter again.   I belive in good conditioning not
over doing it and plenty of rest.   Think about all the stuff in the creeks
at a ride from the prevoius rider,  Electrolites, carbo charge, dropped
into the drinking water, well there enough there for my horse.. Happy New
Year you guys.   steve
