RE: [RC] Cellphones on trail/ Prompting - Libby & Quentin Llop DVMPrompting is a term that come to us from Standardbred racing and has nothing to do with electronic devices. When a Standardbred is being run by himself to try to set a track record or obtain a fast time for whatever reason, another horse, usually a Thoroughbred called a prompter, is galloped alongside to encourage a best effort. I have a set of the radio GPSs and worried about this thread until I remembered that I don't have a crew.

However, to call your crew and tell them "I'm 10 minutes out, fix me a sandwich" is not. I see nothing in 6(k) that prohibits this. If you are "riding" and not "racing", your example would be meaningless anyway. This is similar to the drug rule issue, which as Bob pointed out, emphasizes the INTENT, without being specific. I can "carry" drugs in my cantle bag for an emergency, but I have violated no AERC rule unless I give them to the horse. I can "carry" and use a cell phone or radio on my horse, but unless I use it to gain an advantage then again, no AERC rule has been violated. For drugs or electronic devices, you can't have it both ways. Either the AERC rule must be "specific" or the rider's actions judged on "intent".

Crew for second place rider calls them and says - you are only 10 minutes behind. Step up the pace to catch them. Or horse in front of you was pulled - and the horse behind you took an extra 10 minutes at the hold you left. You can back off your pace. Emergency use is fine but calls that give an advantage in pacing is not. This is just my view.
