Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

OK to really open the can of worms suppose that Susan K. , under the AERC Rules and Regulations Preamble "Additional measures may be taken by any ride to provide greater safety for equine and rider." posts on the ride entry blank the following:

 

All horses, in the interest of horse welfare and safety, will be required to remain at the ride camp a minimum of 12 hours after completion to ensure adequate rest prior to trailering home.

 

What would happen?

To my knowledge, there are no rules that state where a rider must, or must
not, stay.  I have to believe this is not in the jurisdiction of either AERC
or the ride management.  It simply makes sense that if a horse owner/rider
wants the best for his/her horse, he/she should stay with the horse. 

Well to really open another can of worms,, I think in most cases, loading the horse up in the trailer after he has carried my fat butt a number of miles and hauling any length of time, is not what is best for him either.  Look out if I start managing rides again....I am putting on the entry form....If you can't stay, don't come.  I know all the excuses about how the horse "eats sleeps etc " better at home.  so I guess if that is the case, maybe this isn't his sport.
