Re: last sentence....that's what RO is
designed for. Rider is ill, exhausted, injured or just plain doesn't want
to continue. I don't think it's necessary for the rider to have to explain
why he/she chose an RO. And if he/she chooses to explain, everyone else
should be gracious and understanding about it. Why do we all have to point
fingers????
I Think we all have some
non completion on our records that is not acurate. I pulled out
once because I didnt think my horse was rite, and the vets kept saying go
on and ride, they thought he was fine. I asked for an RO but the record shows
Pulled Lame. with no RO mentioned. A person could get real pissed off
about that! but Oh well, we all know the records are not
perfect. .... Wouldnt just ROF be good? I always thought there should be
an RWO for Rider Whimped Out. Sometimes a person just does not want to ride
any farther for reasons that have nothing to do with the horse. Annie
