Re: [RC] Preventing Treated Horses at Rides - Ideas Please - L Eisele

Thankyou Stagg for your feedback on my idea re: no placings except BC.
You are right not all treated horses are front runners and some
suggestions of less distance between vet checks, longer holds are also
great ideas and all should be considered.
I still am very much against racing and feel endurance is completeing a
course by a time limit and winning is completing with a sound
horse...the best conditioned horse receiving BC.  
Doing away with placings will cut down on some sick horses but not all
yet that in itself is enough reason  to do away with placings and then
instill the extra vet checks, longer checks and educate, educate,
educate.
We would look better in the eyes of activists and general public...the
word "race or racing"  congures up a negative
response from the uninvolved onlooker.
