[RC] A Much Better Proposal - k s swigart

Jim Holland said:


"If John Jones and Dobbin get a metabolic pull,
then Dobbin cannot compete in another ride for
a month.  If Dobbin gets a 2nd metabolic pull, he is
done for the year.  If John Jones on ANY horse
gets 3 metabolic pulls in a ride season, he is done
for the rest of that season."


I, personally, think this is a much better proposal for ensuring the
welfare of horses; although I would change it slightly such that it
would be John Jones who cannot compete on Dobbin in another ride for a
month or a year (somebody else may be able to better manage Dobbin
during a ride).  However, if Dobbin gets three pulls under any rider,
then it should, indeed, be Dobbin who has to take the break.
