[RC] Log Books - Jane CunninghamIn England we have the log book system too. Each horse
that competes must have a log book with it's own unique number. That book stays
with the horse for it's life time.
It contains the vet sheet with all info from the ride
on it i.e distance, pulse pre ride and finish, any marks or lesions are put on
it so the vet at the finish knows what the horse had at the start and also
a mastercard which has ride date, name, distance and placing on it. That has to
be signed by ride management before leaving the ride.
They also record the reason for failing to
finish.
So, if you buy an endurance horse in England you can
see it's ride history and any DNF before buying. The book doesn't
lie.
Now I live in the States and it's all so
different.
