Re: [RC] Protecting Our Horses, Protecting Our Sport - sharp pennywhoops..my bad ...I could have sworn I heard her say there were no pulls in either the 25 or 50 for the first day...dang, gotta go get my ears cleaned!

On the seconddayonly 2 or 3 pulls in each milage division, none ofwhichwere critical. I *think* all of the horses that wereriddenboth days also completed both days. Regards, PennyI believe that to take action on the ideas aboveisthe right thing to do. Moreover in today's societyifwedo not take appropriate action, then others less favorable to the sport may force action upon us. So the hardjobis deciding what actions are appropriate and willservethe goals of protecting the horse and protecting thesportof endurance riding. I believe we should start by an electronic brainstorming session where we get as many ideas out on thetableaspossible without being judgmental. We then candothecritical analysis. I will be happy to catalogtheideas presented. For each of these items we need to consider the"what"and the "how". For example on education we need todecidewhat we need to teach people and then what the best waytoreach people with the information. Note that I have assumed we do have a problemthatweneed to address. The folks that I have talked toagree.If there are others who do not agree, then whetherthereis a problem to be addressed or not probably alsodeservesdiscussion.
