[RC] People and Horse Welfare - Bruce Weary DCHi Bob--Thank you for your kind comments. I guess most of the Board would be probably be inclined to agree with the principles I addressed, but I felt a disclaimer was in order as a matter of courtesy. My experience is just beginning as a Board member, but I have known many of the members for years, and have found them to be hard working, earnest people who hold our horses and this sport in the highest regard. Sometimes I stick my neck out in my analysis of human behavior and what drives it, and I wouldn't want to presume to do the thinking for others, but it's interesting to throw some observations out there and see what agreements or disagreements they produce. It's usually not a popular thing to address common human weaknesses, but covering our tracks in endurance riding so as not to look bad puts our horses at risk, and I think increasing awareness and eliminating the stigma associated with post-ride treatment is a worthy and attainable goal.
