[RC] Statistics on Pulls for one day rides vs multidays and regional differences - rides2far

Others accept that long term gait aberations are

I'm curious. Any stats on number of horses pulled at the *finish line* in
different regions? I've seen several 100 milers pulled at the finish and
it was always a really sad thing to see, usually just stiffening up
before they could be trotted out or something. Vets didn't want to do it
but were adhering *strictly* to the "fit to continue" rule. Is that
evenly enforced across the regions or are some people getting the miles
while others get the "character enrichment".
