Re: [RC] RAT pulse - Steve Shaw

Traditional, Ride and Tie Assoc. sanctioned events have usually had a criteria of 72. Recently it has been up to the vets even more... and at the Championships in Libby, MT, Jim Steere set it was at 64! In doing a RAT along with an endurance event we have suggested that we keep the criteria the same, to make it easier on the vets and PR crew. Even so, I was challenged three different times about getting out without a hold at the Swanton. That just shows how well the McCray's embolded their volunteers to be tough. (Since we were only two of 70 riders I did not find it abusive.)

Steve,

"The vet criteria for the horse clearing the vet check was
ALWAYS the same as the endurance ride. 60 pulse, etc."

My understanding is that the RAT pulse is 72.

Am I incorrect on this?

Mike
