[RC] People and Horse Welfare Disagreement - apachepetra

I have just started riding 50's (2 finishes and 1 pull) and I don't see
why there is such a big issue about putting the names and pull codes on
the published ride results.  I had my first pull last weekend (slight
Lameness) with 9 miles left in a 50 and I sure wasn't concerned about what
anyone else thought.  I was more concerned about my horse and how I could
help her get better.  The only reason that I might feel embarased about
being pulled or having a pull code recorded is if I knew that I had done
something wrong like knowingly overriding my horse or riding in a 2nd ride
in the same weekend when I knew that my horse wasn't really ready for
that.  Maybe these people are embarased that there horse was pulled
because they know it was really their fault.
