Do you have any data on completion rates, treatment

rates

at rides with a 60 pulse?

  Just came back from Llano Estacado in Amarillo, Tx. 

60

pulse was required...on first day everyone who started

in

both 25 and 50 mile finished...no pulls! On the second

day

only 2 or 3 pulls in each milage division, none of

which

were critical. I *think* all of the horses that were

ridden

both days also completed both days.

  I believe that to take action on the ideas above

is 

the
  right thing to do.  Moreover in today's society

if

we 

do
  not take appropriate action, then others less 
favorable
to
  the sport may force action upon us.  So the hard

job

is
  deciding what actions are appropriate and will

serve

the
  goals of protecting the horse and protecting the

sport

of
  endurance riding.

  I believe we should start by an electronic 
brainstorming
  session where we get as many ideas out on the

table

as

  possible without being judgmental.  We then can

do

the

  critical analysis.  I will be happy to catalog

the 

ideas
  presented.

  For each of these items we need to consider the

"what

"and the
  "how".  For example on education we need to

decide 

what
we
  need to teach people and then what the best way

to 

reach
  people with the information.

  Note that I have assumed we do have a problem

that

we

need
  to address.  The folks that I have talked to

agree. 

 If
  there are others who do not agree, then whether

there 

is
a
  problem to be addressed or not probably also

deserves

  discussion.
