Re: [RC] horse fatalities, 2002 - m lI haven't read all my e-mails yet, but I'm alittle confused on everyones comments. Isn't it the riders responsibility to find out why their horse died. I have been at a ride where two horses died. The horses were left at the ride and the riders/owners left. I wouldn't want a speculation as to why my horse died. An autopsy would be the way to find out. That is also the rider/owners responsibility. It may not give me the answer, but it is better than speculation.

Apparently it's ALWAYS nobody's fault with no details. Can't believe that 7 horses died in 2002...and it's just because "shit happens". Nobody's fault, no extenuating circumstances, none could have been prevented...after all they were just horses. You will never convince me of that. <sigh> As my Granddaddy used to say, "I wasn't born in a Turnip Patch".

I guess NOBDOY speaks for thehorses...an ego might bebruised...No, Jim, it is never a waste of time. But it isonly reality to understandthat you won't always find the cause, no matterhow hard you look. Thisisn't about paranoia--this is about good peoplewho simply didn't findanywhere to point a finger. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
