RE: [SPAM] Re: [RC] [RC] newbie question re time limits in endurance v. ctr - Jim Holland

Actually, that's not true.  There is no AERC rule that says you have to
present within the timeframe of the hold or at ANY specific time.  The only
rule is that once you have been given an "arrival time", you have 30 minutes
to reach pulse criteria.  After that, you can present any time you wish.
You can't LEAVE the hold until you have presented your horse to the vet, but
there is no specific time limit specified in the rules for doing that.

Theoretically, you could do the first loop, arrive at the first vet check,
meet the 30 minutes pulse criteria and go back to bed. You could present for
the first vet check anytime before the ride officially "ends" based on the
time allowed for that distance, pass the check and leave on the second loop.
You would be pulled for time, but that's perfectly acceptable under AERC
rules.

As long as your horse can vet within the timeframe of the hold, you can
stay beyond your hold time as long as you want.  Obviously you don't
want to jeopardize being able to complete in time, but many savvy
riders will stay a bit longer if their horse is actively eating, for
instance, because getting the food on board will have more benefit on
down the trail than what the few minutes extra cost you at the check,
particularly on longer rides.

Hope this helps.
