How can one "do" anything relevant with the
information unless one collects the information first? The relevance of it
all is to try to understand under what conditions we see increases in lameness,
under what conditions we see increases in metabolic problems, and perhaps
address how to better recognize those problems and how to prevent them.
The pull code information was originally intended as part of a more complete
data gathering at rides, and I hope that at some point, the rest of the data
collection is implemented as well. Judging by the confusion over something
as simple as pull codes, I wonder if it will ever be accomplished.

Subject: Re: [RC] RO/Relevance
Why?
What does it matter why a rider RO's out of a
ride?
When someone says we want to "know" why someone,
whose horse was deemed "fit to continue" pulls from a given ride...what does
it matter "why" a rider chooses to RO?
UNLESS, the AERC,
as an organization does something "relevant" with the information, other than
put out a report relating the pull information which could then be used to
"educate" the endurance riders out
there.
