[RC] preventing treatment - drhopkinsI don't know if this would help, but why not have a novice class? Put tighter restrictions and/or more vet checks (ie: exit vet checks), longer holds etc. What about requiring anyone who has neglected their horse's care to ride in the novice class since AERC sanctioning is not always an option. The novice riders could have different color cards thus enabling the vets to know who they are dealing with. As a novice, I would feel better knowing that the vets would be watching me a bit more. I plan on doing CTRs for now and I go back and forth on whether or not to aspire to try a 50 or a 100. After the last thread regarding trying 100's, I thought I'd try one in 2 to 3 years, now after the horse death and treatment threads, I don't know if I'll ever feel confident enough in my knowledge to 'risk' my horse's life.
