RE: [RC] [AERC-Members] Protecting.... - Bob MorrisOK Truman: Let's outline this. First we need to state the problem so every one is working on the same wave length. Next our goals associated with the problem, then the objectives we need to address! Once we get this done then and only then can we examine the solutions. Other wise we could all be so divergent that nothing will result except chaos. Here is a start on the outline: Problem 1. AERC is experiencing an untimely increase of equine fatalities associated with sanctioned endurance competition. Goals 2. Minimize equine fatalities associated with endurance competition. Objectives 3. Reduce equine fatalities associated with endurance competition by 50% with in ____years. 4. Educate equine owners/riders as to the most expedient methods of reducing equine fatalities associated with endurance competition. Methods 5. Here is where we start with the ideas, concepts and such. What do you think? If done this way when we are finished we have a document ready for formal presentation that has consensus and could be quite complete.

In the old days down South we'd just take 'em out back and shoot 'em. That would probably work. We need a system that kicks in when a horse dies to start with. I'd say an automatic protest. As far as treatments go, it's a little more subtle. I would, however, say the Vet committee review the treatments and refer those that need further consideration to the HWC to further investigate. There I threw my fish on the table - take your shots. And Angie, "take 'em back and shoot 'em" is not "Truman's rule." :-).

Also, think about the ramifications in dumping the decision about whether a rider should lose a whole season of points on the head of one vet. Even if the vet committee reviews it, it's mainly the judgement of the vet on the scene. And, I say one vet, because at small ride the other vet may be gone already. Some will be more reluctant to treat, others just to say no treatment was that serious, others will stick to the letter of the law and say the points must go. Some may even say it's not worth the hassle--they have better ways to spend the weekend! Nancy Mitts you. So--do you have a better idea? terre -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- -= Discussion List Archives: http://www.goldhill.com/members/index.html =- -= Subscribe/Unsubscribe: mailto: AERCMembersForum-moderator@xxxxxxxxxxxx =- -= Rules of Usage: http://www.goldhill.com/members/index.html =- -= Terms of Usage & Liability: http://www.goldhill.com/members/liability.html =- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
