Re: RC: Some statistics from the Rider/Horse History on-line and Pull Data

["Nancy Mitts" <mitts_n@hotmail.com>]

The point of the pull codes is to find out whether the horses were having 
metabolic or lameness problems, not who pulled them.  If the riders want 
everyone to know it was their idea to pull so they don't "look bad", what 
about the vets??? Won't that make them look like they're letting compromised 
horses back on trail?
RO is a rider that doesn't want to go back out.
Lame is Lame & Metabolic is metabolic no matter who makes the decision.
Having to pull/being pulled is simply a circumstance, not a punishment.
Stop pointing fingers & keep the codes simple.
