RE: [RC] Completion rates - Karen Standefer

One other possibility.................heavier riders purchase sturdier
horses than the lighter weight riders.  I know that I've discounted one of
my horses being longer backed and that I'm a FW so it doesn't matter as
much.  I'm sure that's flawed thinking.

Two possibilities (you come up with more)
1) The lighter the weight of the rider, the less careful they are 
because they are depending on their weight to minimize any problems
2) Lighter weight riders know they have an advantage so they skimp on 
their conditioning protocols thus bringing to races horses not as well 
prepared as those of heavier riders.
