Re: [RC] Weight - Sisu West Ranch

"...horse gets more fit if it's carrying a heavier rider..."
 
So why don't lighter riders put on weights when they train and thus really beat us heavyweights?

Note: No need to get into the whole live vs dead weight thing. 
 
Also: The fairness of the current time and weight penalties could be tested and then adjusted so that they were of optimized fairness and over the long run the distribution of BC awards were uniform over the first 10 riders and the weights of the riders.
 
PPS.  This post is not a call for action, or even meant to say that the present system is either fair or not fair.
