As soon as you add one bit of "tack" you have open Pandora's box. Use
rider weight only and give the RM the discretion to require the people
that come up to the scale in an Artic weight coat and winter boots in
July to undress before they weight.

OK--- I really really liked the idea of weighing nekid!!! That is, until I got a visual of all us old ladies without sports bras....YIKES!!!!!!!!
So that may not be the best solution.
Seriously tho, I would like the BOD to take another look at weight divisions, and I really think we should stop the practice of weighing all the garbage that we choose to carry with us. Stick with rider weight in ride clothing and saddle and tack. Cantle bags, water bottles, etc. are NOT tack. Everybody probably fills their water bottles when weighing for BC, but we should stop that too... everybody just going with rider, ride clothing and saddle and tack.
