RE: [RC] Protecting.... - Bob MorrisAh ha! But with out a concept as would be produced by the exercise I proposed, how do you know what data is needed, necessary or available to be captured? You do the paper exercise and you find that some things are very accessible, some are impossible and many are not needed. You develop a road map for development of the process and than the process evolves. But you start out with a defined goal in mind. Right now, as you say, We are mostly just tossing around ideas- We need to assemble these concepts and winnow out the grain from the chaff, and there has been considerable chaff.

Are we even sure this is true? and not just that reporting is getting better? I don't like to see the focus on 'fatalities'--I think it should be on 'treatments' (which almost certainly ARE increasing). I would like to see us stop the cycle long before it gets as far as death. Goals 2. Minimize equine fatalities associated with endurance competition. Minimize the necessity for treatments........?? Methods 5. Here is where we start with the ideas, concepts and such. Good stuff. I don't think anybody is seriously proposing rule changes and such right now, without adequate study. We are mostly just tossing around ideas--hopefully when we have more data to work with the issues being discussed now will give us a basis for considering options. terre =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
