[RC] People and Horse Welfare Disagreement - apachepetraI 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. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
