RE: [RC] A Much Better Proposal - Jim HollandIMHO, yes..... In fact if it were my horse I would give him a month off anyway...without the rule. How do you know he was "fine"? I would give him two weeks off...just to be a pasture ornament, then two weeks of LSD before asking him to compete in another ride. Things like muscle cramps or pulled muscles are slow to heal and re-injure easily. I prefer to ALWAYS err on the side of the horse. Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic Richard T.

I had decided to pull him anyway, but at the 30 min point, it was a metabolic vet pull. He was fine later that day [both from a pulse and muscle cramp standpoint]. Should he be banned from competition for 30 days? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
