Re: Re: Norco Ride

Just remember, AERC rules say a BC award must be available, but they don't say one must be given.  Perfectly legal to refuse awarding a BC if, in the vets' opinion, no horse was deserving of it.

Don't forget that after explaining how "brutal" the day had been on the

While some might find this to be an insult and "unfair", conversely, I find
it just admirable for a vet to state plainly that no horse exemplified what a
horse SHOULD finish like in order to be a BC horse. With no aspersions on ANy
rider, but indeed, a comment on the VERY tough conditions that day, Fred made
it very clear that the horse IS indeed first. As much as I admired and liked
him before, it is only more profound now!
