RE: [RC] Statistics on Pulls for one day rides vs multidays and regional differences - Alison Farrin

Or multiday horses go slower.  There's always going to be someone running for 
the top spot.  But, overall, I think everyone slows down a bit with the 
intention of riding one horse multiple days.  If you walk slowly through the 
really rocky or boggy spots, you reduce your chances of a pull or strain.  The 
top 10% won't, but if the bottom 90% are 2 or 3 times as careful, the pull rate 
should be considerably lower.  Basically, the same hypothesis we've been using 
for lower metabolic problems on multidays, but this time, the data seems to 
support it.

Truman, on the metabolic pull ratio multiday to single day rides - is there any 
multiday ride that stands out with an abnormally high pull ratio?  I know our 
statistics aren't supporting it, but I wonder how we all came to believe it, 
other than what we've observed.

There is a huge difference in lameness pull rates for 
multiday rides vs one day endurance rides.  The pull rate 
for lameness at a one day endurance ride is 7 times the rate 
at multiday rides.  The huge difference is not explainable 
and needs more examination.


Hmm. Seems it would have to be A or B

A. Multi-day horses are 7x better.

B. Multi-day vets see 7x more lenient.
