 Okay..so lets consider this scenario: I pull cuz I tried
a 100, went too slow and knew I would be over time. Next
ride my horse stepped in a hole, slid on his knees and nose
to *save* himself, ended up with a bad sprain and pulled
for lameness. Next ride he just isn't acting right to me,
three vets all say he is okay, has all A's at previous VC's
but I pull cuz I know my guy and something just ain't
right. Now I have 3 consecutive pulls that have fallen
under the s@*t happens catagory. You want me to be *slapped
on the hands* and tell everyone I'm a bad or uncareing
rider by giving me a mandatory 6 mo rest that is now
recorded on my ride record for people to pull up when I
either want to buy/sell a horse or just perhaps make a
comment someone dosen't like on RC.  To me this would be be
punishing the knowledgeble caring rider more so than
*catching* any of those 2% idiots that everyone is trying
to save horses from. I wonder how many good people you will
lose to the sport with this "wonderfully fair* rule?????

Again JMHO.... and to save you from pulling up my short
ride record to disect and made known to other RCampers I
have  had 2 pulls this year...gasp!!! and only ridden 4
rides ...double gasp!!!! <rolling eyes>

Regards,
Penny








Not sure about the details, but I agree--this sort of
concept is worth some
consideration.
