Re: [RC] Vet Check holds - Linda S. Flemmer

I rode endurance in the early 1980's when your hold started at arrival and
your pulse had to be 72 before LEAVING the check after your hold.  I
remember a lot of horses who were "on the edge" and had no business going
back out.

I haven't seen a ride that did't use a hold gate in many years.  I'd hate to
go back to that.  We're riding smarter & safer now with the gates into a
hold.

Subject: [RC] Vet Check holds



    I was wondering how standard gates into a hold are for vet checks

these

days.  The rules say, "It is recommended that all checkpoints be of the
"gate into a hold" type."  Are there any rides out there that still start
hold times upon entering the check?  What is the feeling on this?
