Re: RC: "Pulled" is More Info Than Just on Horse/Rider

[SoulsSerenade@aol.com]

Okay...here's my 2 cents on this whole pull/publish thing....
    It seems like an interested buyer wouldn't want to let one ride make or 
break a deal.  If a person was looking for a horse, and they came across a 
"DNF" because the horse was lame, they'd be a little concerned.....
but then you've got to look at the records of rides after that "DNF".....if a 
horse comes up slightly off at one ride and gets pulled, with a big "L" 
stamped next to his name in the AERC records, but does a 100 mile ride 3 
weeks later and finishes fine, it would seem obvious that the "L" was really 
"L--no big deal"....
But if a horse gets pulled at a ride for being lame, and doesn't do another 
ride for 2 years, it would be a little concerning.  
Soooo, what I'm saying is.....everyone has a bad day once in a while....and 
you have to look at the horse's entire history...not just one ride. 
okay....that's all...:-)
