[RC] comp vs end - larry Miller

In over 30 years of doing both C and E, I have seen at least 4 horse deaths from competitive.  What hurts the horse most is being overridden whether endurance or comp.  Yes, that can happen in competitive.  But also a horse can  get into trouble on a ride whether C or E and the problem has nothing at all to do with the ride itself.  There was just something going on with the horse and unfortunately, the horse can't tell us in English.  Jeanie
