RE: [RC] Pull Codes - Adam Falk

So someone comes into camp for lunch, knows the horse is lame and just

code an RM can give is DQ.  THAT's how a rider can abuse the codes.  A
lame horse
gets DQ.

But how often does this actually happen?  I've maybe seen it once or
twice in the past couple of decades.


I have to chime in here, I have only been attending rides for the last 3
years and I think that out of the almost 20 rides that I have been at as a
rider or crew I have seen at least 7 people do just that, leave with out
getting a final vet check.  Most of the time they let management know they
are leaving, but they do it at a time when the vets and timers are the most
busy.  I do not think it has been any of the people who are long term
endurance riders because I do not see them at many rides.

It does happen more often than we would like.

Adam
