[RC] Information from pulled horses - Sisu West RanchI guess it is my Oldtimer's disease kicking up, while building an apple storage box, I just remembered that there is a vet report required at each ride. The head vet is supposed to fill it out and give lots more information about pulls than just L, M, RO etc.Does anyone know what is done with these reports? I don't remember any EN articles about the results of analysis of vet reports. I can think of a number of possibilities: 1. They are simply filed and then ignored, sort of what happend with horse death reports before the reform. 2. They have been looked at, but there was not enough information in them to be helpful without lots of boring statistical work. 3. They have been looked at, but nothing was there to be learned. If this is the case why have they continued? I haven't been an RM for a few years, so they may have been dropped. 4. Many vets do not send them in, or if they do they are not properly done. If this is the case, what is being done to improve quality? 5. They have been analyzed, important things were found, but someone decided that only the vet or rules committee had a need to know. 6. They have been looked at and that is the reason for the present study of horses behind and before pulls. If this is the case I look forward to the publication of the results in EN. 7. A lot has been learned and a blockbuster report is being written and will be published in EN during the next few months. 8. Good publication has been made, I have just forgotten about it. A distinct possibility given my advancing Oldtimer's and CRS.
