Personally, I think that's a
great idea. I hope the BOD did vote to approve this. I have pulled my horses a
time or two AFTER they have passed the vet check because I felt there was a
problem. I never felt this to be a stigma against me, but rather good judgment
on my part.

History/Pulls
At last year's mid-year board meeting, I made a motion to list
the pull
codes as follows:
L = lame, pulled by vet
M = metabolic,
pulled by vet
OT = overtime
RO = rider withdrew for personal reasons
relating to the rider
RO-L = rider withdrew the horse because of lameness
considerations
RO-M = rider withdrew the horse because of metabolic
considerations
The last two were additions to the usual ones. My
feeling was that making
the differentiation between vet disqualification
and rider choice would
relieve the stigma of having the horse DQ'd, show it
was the rider's wisdom
that prompted the withdrawal, and yet give the AERC
and the vets the
information they seek for educational purposes. The
board voted it down. I
still think it is a good idea, and it is the
system I use on our own
ride
results.
