The problem we see with LD BC judging is if it's based on top ten, racing is 
involved (and AERC tries to discourage this).  If it's based on judgment of 
all horses entered, in the W region at least, sometimes there are 50+ horses 
entered in LD and judging that many horses is too time-consuming for the 
vets.  This is probably why many W region ride managers don't offer LD BC. 
It's not a prejudice issue but a practical one.
