[RC] Pull Codes - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lauretta tikitiki69@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I like having the codes online. I use the stats about me and my horse for the rides I do to plan 1. any training issues I need to address and to help plot Shaba's progress as he does more rides and 2. which rides I will or wont repeat. I look at the pull stats for a ride overall for the same reason. I don't look down on another rider for having a pull; sh-- happens, there could be a rock w/ your name on it, horses have metabolic problems sometimes even if they are ridden conservatively and considerately, there are too many variables on a ride that can cause a pull even with the best preparation. Now, if one rider has stats for 5 different horses and every other ride for every horse is a pull, might be something there. But in general, if a rider has a lame pull or metabolic pull on their record, it is silly to jump to conclusions as to the reason with out being there and knowing the circumstances. I don't understand how it would really be derogatory or hurtful to anyone to have your stats online. The only other reason I could think of that you would want to refer to someone else's stats specifically would be if you wanted to buy a horse from someone, and if they have a lot of pulls for, say, lameness, you may want to consider this when deciding to buy the horse or not. But not to personally attack an individual. If I have a pull, I can refer back to it and try to determine if it was my fault, or (if a lame pull for an example) if it was a particularly rocky ride and I might want to take additional precautions if I ride it in the future. Heck, I cant remember half the things I did yesterday and why I did them <g>. The stats are a useful memory-jogger. I can look at my stats, say 'oh, yeah, that was the ride w/ the really rocky section, and Shaba hit a rock and was pulled lame' and determine if it is worth doing the ride again. The stats are there to help riders keep records on their horses and themselves over time, IMO, and not set up to cause any purposeful public humiliation, if that is how someone is perceiving it....................
