Ridecamp: RE: [RC] [RC] [RC] protecting horses

The rules reference a 'veterinary control point'. I was interpreting the
original question as a 'non-veterinary control point'.  Simplest example
might be requiring riders to stop for 15 minutes at a water/hay point along
the trail, without using a P/R gate - i.e. just arrive, record your time,
and then leave 15 minutes later. You could also have a P/R gate into a hold,
but still not require the riders to do anything other than wait for 15
minutes. No veterinary attendance.

This isn't necessarily a substitue for a vet-check, but may be considered an
additional place along the trail for rest and recovery along a particularly
hard or long loop.

Bob?

Thanks Linda,
I know that's been the take on the rule up here too. Is Central Region the
only one looking at it that way?
