Yes you can put water on the horse any time during Limited Distance. The ride management transported buckets of water out to a dry spot on the trail so the endurance horses could have a drink or be sponged. We could have ridden CTR, but I wasn't sure if we would make the time. It turns out that we were riding perfect CTR speed. In CTR you can only use natural water on the trail to sponge your horse or allow a drink. They are also allowed to drink water at vet checks, but no sponging until after completion and the final vet check. Deacon is almost in his summer coat. He has a bit of long hair on his flanks and his rump. -Kristen
