<< But then I formulate my question on another way : which king of food to
give *during* the race, of better not to give anything and let the horse a
free choise at the stop after the vetgates?
Anyway thanks and greetings from Belgium

Here you're into the actual requirements of the even. In endurance riding,
you want your blood sugar to be maintained and you have to provide water and
electrolytes. So faster sugars will work better--these are simpler
sugars--glucose, sucrose, fructose. See if yo0u can discover the routine the
French are using--could be interesting.
