Re: [RC] RO pulls poll - M. Paul Latiolais



I had a metabolic registered that actually was an RO.


My horse met the criteria on the out vet check, but he wasn't dropping below it after ten minutes. The vet said I could go on if I wanted to, but he did not recommend it. I pulled him, and it got registered as a metabolic. Maybe it should have been a metabolic, but we need more stringent guidelines, if it is.

I like the idea mentioned last week; Don't publish the pulls. I say report completed with rank/time or not completed.

    True Confession: How many people have had an RO pull that really

    because of lameness or methabolic/recovery problems?

Confession? Heck, what's to confess? I felt my horse was off. It *was*
lameness. The vet didn't see anything. He said he was fit to continue. I
said I would pull he was off on the trail. The pull showed up as RO.
What's to confess...that I'm more conservative than the pull criteria?
