As I've already stated to Bob privately, I would strongly support limiting
entry of a horse under 60 months in multiday LDs.  Note "under 60
months"---IMO, as long as the horse is five years old, you can ride him
however wiggles your broom.  Under five years, advocacy for the well-being
of the horse (whether that ends up being actual or just perceived) takes
precedence over riding ambitions of the rider, in my book.  JMO.
