I didn't see any ambiguity in the rules quoted in Bob's post, and I
don't see any here either.

"a time of their own choosing ... within one hour of crossing the
finish line ... "

"one hour."

"ONE HOUR."

That is clear, concise, precise, and unambigous.  One hour is 60
minutes, not 30.  'nuff said.

Unless (and until) something comes from the Board changing the wording
of rule 6, the AERC allows horses in endurance rides one hour to
recover following crossing the finish line.  Period.
