I definitely support either no weight division (preferable)
or 2 with lightweight and heavyweight. And I don’t think BC should
use weight either. Nor time for that matter. It should be best vet
score of the top 10 and that’s it (excepting of course when the vet
decides to chose no one). If someone feels it wasn’t fair because
someone went slower than them to win BC, then there is a pretty easy solution
for that one!
My husband and I have done enough testing riding each others
horses to feel comfortable that our horses build up to be able to carry the
weight. Just like he can carry 4 2x4’s to my 2 without feeling more
tired than me. (we’ve spent the past week building a 64x12 shed!).
He may have to eat more food than me to replenish, but he wasn’t any more
sore or tired than I was.
So this is my vote for support of removing or at least
reducing weight divisions!
