Re: [RC] rider option - John Teeterwho was the vet (maybe send his/her name to the vet committee privately?)It seems to me that AERC certified vets would be aware of their options at that point. AERC is attempting to be pro-active (as exemplified by the article Katrina quoted) but there is always training and refinement to be done (if we all want to make the system better:) jt On Jan 14, 2008, at 6:56 PM, heidi larson wrote: I'm not sure if that is completely true - at a ride this last fall, a rider came into the final vet check, (I was volunteering) I heard the rider was pulling, Rider Option, rider asked vet if he'd like to see the horse, brought horse up and I watched it limp to the vet, 3-legged lame. The ride results on AERC state Lameness/Rider Option. The horse was definitely NOT fit to continue. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
