Re: [RC] Protecting Our Horses, Protecting Our Sport - sharp penny





Do you have any data on completion rates, treatment rates

at rides with a 60 pulse?



 Just came back from Llano Estacado in Amarillo, Tx.  60
pulse was required...on first day everyone who started in
both 25 and 50 mile finished...no pulls! On the second day
only 2 or 3 pulls in each milage division, none of which
were critical. I *think* all of the horses that were ridden
both days also completed both days.

Penny










  I believe that to take action on the ideas above is 
the
  right thing to do.  Moreover in today's society if

we 

do
  not take appropriate action, then others less 
favorable
to
  the sport may force action upon us.  So the hard job



is
  deciding what actions are appropriate and will serve



the
  goals of protecting the horse and protecting the

sport

of
  endurance riding.

  I believe we should start by an electronic 
brainstorming
  session where we get as many ideas out on the table

as

  possible without being judgmental.  We then can do

the

  critical analysis.  I will be happy to catalog the 
ideas
  presented.

  For each of these items we need to consider the

"what

"and the
  "how".  For example on education we need to decide 
what
we
  need to teach people and then what the best way to 
reach
  people with the information.

  Note that I have assumed we do have a problem that

we

need
  to address.  The folks that I have talked to agree. 
 If
  there are others who do not agree, then whether

there 

is
a
  problem to be addressed or not probably also

deserves

  discussion.
