RE: [RC] Rapid Pulse Recovery - Kristen A Fisher

I am with Kim and Angie - I think this adds a lot of complexity to a ride
without a significant amount of benefit.

What if you don't have a volunteer to properly handle in-timing, all day,
100% of the time?

What happens if the finish line of a ride is 1/2 mile out from camp?

I would also add that this proposal came in 2003 when the fatality rate was
significantly higher than it is today, with more ride starts today.

More complexity at a vet check? Really?

Kristen

1. Is taking more than 15 minutes to recover predictive of trouble 
later in the ride?


I would be against this proposal. I'm picturing a hot ride. 
Our vets always require all tack off. If it's a big ride your 
crew area may be a ways from the P&R. If I get my in-time, 
walk a ways to my crew area, and pull tack, I may get his 
pulse down to 64 pretty soon, but it's going to climb again 
if I have to walk him back to the check...so I have to work a 
little harder and get his pulse considerably below 64 before 
heading towards the P&R. 15 min. is too tight. Our vets have 
ways of tightening criteria, like lowering the pulse 
requirement to 60, or doing CRI's. It wouldn't bother me if 
the vets had the right, maybe if more than one vet 
agreed...to send a rider on for "completion only" ...but I 
would not be in favor of a hard & fast 15 min. time period.
