    Re: [RC] My votes on the BOD Motions - Lynne Glazer



    Motion #14


    Prepared by: Limited Distance Committee/Gail Williams, Chairman

    Statement of Motion: Criteria for selecting a Best Condition horse on a Limited Distance ride be the same in all ways as
    that for any other endurance distances.


      RR- VOTE YES.  SUSPECT IF A RULE REQUIRES CHANGES TO FACILITATE
    COMPLIANCE, THERE MAY BE OTHER MOTIONS GENERATED FROM THIS. SINCE THIS
    IS NOT LISTED A RULE CHANGE BUT A POLICY STATEMENT. WHAT EVER THE
    OUTCOME, I SUPPORT LD BC AND THE PROCESS TO SELECT SAME.

    Hi, Roger, thanks for your efforts.

    I also support LD BC. When is the board going to address the dichotomy between LD *racing* in order to be considered for BC under AERC rules at all, and the customary listing of names only no times no placement in EN?

    Make a decision. To me, it is simply ludicrous to say, "don't RACE, you LD riders!" at the same time that you say "Hurry UP, if you want to be considered for BEST CONDITIONED HORSE, you must RACE and be top ten!".

    Personally, I think LD times and finishing order ought to be listed in EN. Sure, everyone has different goals in LD (as many of us do in 50s as well), and people like to compare themselves to the rest of the field. I think that's harmless.

    I would like to see another way of doing BC consistently across the nation, without rewarding speed. Don't know what that is. Something for the LD committee to work on.

    I'm going along with the "system" for the first time this year--we're having an AERC-style LD BC per the rules, and we're having 5 "high vet score" awards that consider the whole field for everyone else. Sure, maybe some of the top ten might qualify for one of those, too. We use the vet portion of the BC worksheet--yep, it's a little extra work for the vets & ridestaff, but it's printed on the vet cards and done in conjunction with the completion check. And the riders get the cards back at the awards--with something tangible to take home.
