For those of you who are looking for a rules based solution....this is it. This, of course, will not stop horses from dying, it will just stop them from dying in endurance rides. May I just say that on my second ride, Kat was the drag rider we attached ourselves to all day. I learned more about how to keep my horse out of trouble than I had in all the books I read. And she told me that to really learn how to take care of my mare and for her to learn to better take care of herself, that I should do some of the Duck's multidays.. Slowly. I like the idea of being told, it's a long trail, so you better be able to get your horse back in one piece. I'll be doing my first multiday in March and am looking forward to the challenge of keeping my mare fit, sound and happy for two days of 50's. Our horses are our partners and they deserve a rider that places them above all else of their own volition, not a bunch of rules which wouldn't work anyway. Anything that happens to our horses is first and solely our responsibility, not the vets, and not the AERC, though I believe they do their best to help us along the path, so to speak.
