Ridecamp: [RC] Re:Pulls

While I can see why folks have such an interest in pull ratios, the 
categorization of same, etc., I'd like to  just make an observation from my 
point of view as a DVM.

Most of the pulls I've been involved with on  rides are  the result of a 
rider watching me squint or frown or grunt as I watch  a trot out or  go 
over a horse at the hold. Before I even get to the point of making the 
decision to eliminate the horse the rider has  said something along the 
lines of   "If you think there's any sort of problem, I'll pull". Some of 
these are horses which could, under the rules, continue.

Rarely do I have to  actually  *tell* someone they're out.

These folks  restore my oft sorely tried faith in horse people every time 
it happens.
