I use two 16oz bottles, one with diluted Gatorade and usually one with just water… but now I will put amino acids in it b/c that seems to be the perfect combo for me! If it’s a really hot ride, I’ll carry two extra bottles with plain water in case I want to squirt some on my horse.
Bev, I suspect that although she didn’t say so, Marirose IS dismounting to pee. ;-) She did say “the ass NEXT TO the half ass”.
I can reapply anti-chafing gel at a full-out gallop if I need to. I’m not surprised at the tampon changing, that doesn’t seem like it would be hard if you use an OB or similar.

Marirose – How many oz are
your bottles? Assuming you are female, please pm me about how you manage
to pee off your saddle!!! (Yrs ago, someone on Ridecamp posted that she can
change a tampon at a canter.)

I usually carry 4 water bottles. Sometimes, one of them is a Gatorade but not always. I try to make myself drink about 1 bottle for every 10 miles until dark. I seldom drink much after dark--just cruisin along looking for camp.
Unfortunately, I have been known to moon fellow riders on trail. It's amazing how when you look back no one is there, but the minute I drop my drawers another rider is passing by. Where do you come from?
I did, however learn from someone on this board that if I drink smaller amounts more often, rather than guzzling while I have the bottle out, (note: don't drink water like I drink my Hard Mike's) that I won't have to expose myself as often.![]()
I ofetn carry some of those little flavor packets to put in the water, but I seldom use them. Occasionally at a vet check. I will also drink a loaded pop at a vet check sometimes, need the sugar & caffiene later in a ride.
If any of you come out to the Big Horn--just turn away when you see the a$$ next to the 1/2 a$$
