Ya know, I'd like to see an option for "injury"....
Malik's last two pulls have been lameness but caused by injury, not from being
overridden or tired muscles or bad shoe job or whatever. Just what we
need, isn't it? More pull codes??? :)
Metabolism,
the sum of the physical and chemical processes .... by which energy is made
available.
The pull was metabolic, although it could
be RO-M or M depending on if the vet treated or you requested treatment being
safe. Chokes can be minor and resolve with no treatment in which case you
could continue on. But RO is for rider option, healthy, fit to continue
horse with the rider having some issue. If the rider thinks his horse is
metabolically stressed and pulls even though the horse meets criteria, it is a
RO-M. If the rider feels a roughness and pulls then it should be
RO-L. At least that is my opinion.
