Re: [RC] rules and protecting the horse - heidiI'm not sure I totally understand the 'no rule can save horses' mentality. If that is the case, what about the rules AERC already has? Are they unnecessary? I don't think any of you are recommending that we actually have NO rules, and depend entirely on the wisdom of the each rider to protect the equines in this sport... It isn't a "mentality" and it isn't about not having rules. It is simply a matter of accepting the reality that there is no "magic bullet" out there that will save them all. NO ONE is suggesting doing away with our rules. NO ONE is suggesting that we not try. NO ONE is suggesting that we not continue to work at better enforcement and at fine-tuning what we have. But a lot of folks are tired of the accusations that "nothing" has ever been done and that we must rush out to adopt new rules (whether there is any reason to believe they will help or not) in order to be perceived as caring individuals.
