Both actually.  Some of my questions were answered in an earlier post regarding feeding situations.  My horse is used to being tied all night due to working rodeos in the boonies as they say.  Many times there was nowhere other than our trailer or trees to tie to.  I have a small portable pen I take along sometimes for trail rides or camping trips, or rodeos out of town when I know nothing else is available.  I usually feed in hay bags, but was curious if you happen to get stuck out accidentally, say weather got really bad really quick, or someone did get hurt or your horse got hurt,  and you had to wait till morning to return, how do you prepare for such.  I know this may be an unlikely scenario, however, I do like to be prepared for as many situations as possible.  I don't like to take unnecessary chances with either my life or my horses.

HI Lila (cool name btw- it's my mom's name as well!)

Out all night- there are at least two types of 'out all night'. Some of us are called to ride into an area and make camp overnight. That requires one type of feeding strategy. Other times we are called to a 'staging area'- we check in, ride out all day, come back to the staging area, spend the night, repeat the next day. That requires a different feeding strategy.

Are you interested in one of these in particular or in both?
