The above statement that Tom directed at Joe is not quite accurate--we have
replaced the grain load with SEVERAL pounds of forage (some of my horses will
consume up to 40# of hay in the 24 hours pre-ride) and will continue to
consume throughout the event.  Most of us feed small amounts of grain along
with the forage.
