    RE: [RC] something for money - Roby, Diane

    I'm new to endurance...having just found it this year and ride a 6 year old Appendix mare that I'm conditioning for my first ride in March of next year.  Why would a rider pull?  I'm thinking the horse feels "off" to the rider but isn't showing overt symptoms?  It's been years since I owned a horse so when can I expect to REALLY know my horse well enough to pull before something bad happens?

    Do you honestly think that if a completion rate is low it is because the ride was tough?


    Perhaps we should not use completion rate as a guage.  Many times it is "rider option" as Angie said, she pulled at Biltmore so did a lot of other riders. A better guage, if you must use one,  would be equine pulls- metabolic or otherwise.
    Just trying to clarify,
