Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] [RC] Ulcers - Howard Bramhall

Oh, please. I just asked the questions. I haven't taken a stand on this at all. Just thought the topic was an interesting one and might affect our horses.

Geez.

cya,
Howard

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Lisa.  And might I add, "people who
will b&p&m about horse welfare in ENDURANCE horses, and then suggest that
we should use drugs to get them across the finish line...."

At the risk of sounding repetitive, if the horse needs drugs to be out
there, then he doesn't need to BE out there!

============================================================
The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable,
while keeping one's horse fit to continue. Taking the clock out of the
equation makes it another sport altogether. The challenge is how to keep
the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those
in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that
we don't cross it. ~ Heidi Smith
