How about an automatic suspension from all AERC rides until the horse's
death has been investigated?  I also think that it should be the burden
of AERC to pay for an autopsy and fees related to the horse's death.  If
it is found it is the riders fault, then they must pay back the fees
(and fines) to be able to ride again in AERC sanctioned rides again.
This would also be on the riders permanent record and maybe even a
probation period.  I would be willing to fork out a couple bucks more a
ride to go into a fund for the payment of investigative reports and
veterinary work to help clear someone of abusing their horse.

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." :-).
