Re: [RC] [RC] Rider Option - Barbara McCrary

Surface Factors would apply more to girth galls, rubbed spots on back,
possibly cuts, etc.  None of which necessarily makes a horse lame, but would
compromise his welfare.  I once rode my horse on day 1 of a multi-day ride;
ill-fitting saddle caused pressure welts on his shoulders.  He wasn't lame,
but there was no way I would have ridden him four more days with that
saddle.  I would call that SF.

I didn't realize surface factors could mean injuries!!  Isn't it L-SF?  Or
just SF?  I don't know if I've ever seen it used yet.  Hmmmmm....but there
is a stigma, isn't there?  Even when we don't care what our pull rate
might
be, we don't want people to think the worst!  :)

One problem is this recurring attitude that an M or L means
"overridden".
There is a pull code "Surface Factors" for things like tack galls,
injuries
that don't cause lameness, etc. I really don't think we need to muddy
the
waters by requiring the vet to diagnose the reason for every horses
lameness. It's difficult enough to get a consistant use of the "L" or
ROL
as
it is. ( and M or ROM).
In John's case I was thinking that it could, with a bit of a stretch,
fit
into Surface Factors. It seemed to me that "choke" would be considered
an
"accident". Monte says no way, definitly metabolic.I think it's a good
thiing we're not ride vets!

Ya know, I'd like to see an option for "injury"....
