Re: RC: PR or Penalty

[Teresa Van Hove <tvanhove@uswest.net>]

Well I was hoping someone would remember the 
exact details - my recollection is that for
an official p/r check the time is the time 
the rider requests the check and for a 
courtesy the time is after the pulse is 
verified as down, and for an official check
there is supposed to be the "2 to 10 minute"
penalty if the horse is not actually down just
as Steve Shaw decribed in his earlier post. 
Many rides have an informal penalty for not
being down at a courtesy check in that the
P/R people will move on and check other horses
waiting before coming back to you if your horse
is not down and that is just as it should be, but 
I have had to request an official check to pull a
p/r person away from a horse that isn't down yet.
My only opinion on this is that if a ride is having
only official checks that should apply to all distances -
I wasn't at the ride so I don't know if this was the case
or not.
