[RC] Rule changes [30 vs 60 mins] - Kristen A FisherTruman is right - and there already IS a rule that
can be used to address this issue:
6.2.1 The minimum criteria for the
post-finish-line vet check are as follows.
Any ride may adopt more stringent criteria, but these must be provided to competitors before
the ride in written form.
Because ride climates and terrain vary so much, and because the locals
who vet and manage the rides are most intimately involved in the specifics of
those rides, it seems clear they they should be the ones deciding if vet
criteria needs to be more stringent [which can include final VC
time windows - 6.2.1.1 All equines must stand a
mandatory post-ride evaluation within one hour of
finish].
Why not let
AERC "TRY IT" that way, via the discretion of local management, rather than
impose another global rule?
