Re: [RC] Pulls/AERC - MerrybenThe changes must be made by the ride manager. It is frustrating cause a year ago the same sort of thing happened to me. My horse passed the vet check totally sound. During the hold time I noticed that he was missing a hind shoe. He also had a cut on the bulb of his heel. I took him back to the vets who said he was sound and I could go on if I wanted. I discovered that I had missed a loop, as did a whole bunch of other people, because of the poorly marked trail and a missing spotter who had moved down the road from where she was supposed to be. To make a long story short, I decided that I did not want to go back and redo the missed loop so opted to pull my horse, who was still sound and able to go on if I wanted. The ride manager refused to change the results so there it is. Pulled, lame on the official records. mb
