[RC] Random questions - Dot WigginsI have a problem with focusing on punishment over prevention when dealing with horse crashes. Doesn't help the horse. Others have touched on this but how about careful selection of horses for the sport? How many of us can recognize a horse that won't need bell boots, splint boots, interference boots, or special shoes to go down the trail? How many saddles must you try to find one that fits? How long do you work with a horse that doesn't eat, drink, rest, trailer well, camp well. before you decide to try a different horse? On conditioning. What is acutally meant by LSD? What are the miles, times, speeds, weeks, months, required for LSD. How many hours/miles can a horse spend in the trailer without too much stress? When does an altitude change become a problem? How high (or low), how much time, to have any effect? I'll think of some more. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
