I agree maybe a pull at championship level should revoke the COC but is this far enough? I don't believe so. Maybe if FEI would revoke a COC with any pull at any FEI event. Maybe a rider who's horse need metabolic treatment at any FEI event should be suspended from FEI level rides for say a year. Make it most imperative that the riders FINISH the ride. Be careful what you wish for. There's that old "unintended consequences" thingy. If you make it more costly to pull by having penalties for pulling, you create an incentive for riders to not pull when they know their horse is having problems but to try to hide the problem and finish. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
