[RC] Rest rule, was Re : Analysis of pull trends - Deanna GermanLeonard wrote: Well, when a rider is eliminated twice for metabolic on a CEI ride (120kms and over), he has to re-qualify by completing two 90kms rides. For the horse, after 3 consecutive pulls any reason, he must go 'on rest' for , not sure, 6 months. This slid in under the radar. I like this idea!! This is pretty darned objective and doesn't shine the light only on newbies. The only problem I see is you get into that whole vet favoritism thing we talked about not too long ago. I think it should be the same rider on any horse though, as well as focusing on the horse. And maybe not consecutive pulls, rider or horse, but maybe X number in a 6 month or year span. Something to chew on that's for sure, particularly since it seems to be working elsewhere.
