RE: Questions on AERC Rules

Would the horse have to carry a saddle?

 <<The second question is can a "rider" and horse complete a ride/race
 with the rider on foot the whole time?  That is, would a completion
 be awarded if an entrant ran the whole ride/race leading his horse?>>


Theoretically, yes.  But it puts a whole new slant on the sport and some
riders rather resent the fact that a superb runner can give his horse that
much advantage, if it IS an advantage, over those who stay on the horse the
whole time.  There is nothing in AERC rules that states a "rider" cannot run
the whole way.
