While this is true, it is pretty clear what it is NOT--it is NOT for lameness or metabolic problems, since those have their own categories.  It is difficult to precisely "define" all the reasons that would affect a rider to necessitate a pull, and since we are interested in why the HORSE does not go on, there really isn't any need to tightly define rider issues.  However, it might behoove the board to rename this particular pull code (rider problems?  rider issues?) so that it doesn't "sound" so much like a matter of who pulled the horse.
