[RC] The current rules - k s swigartAngie said: A horse can have no gut sounds for 2 hours and so long as they pulse down within the time allotted they are eligible for completion according to Kat. No, no, you are misunderstanding me. This is only true at a vet check. It is at an internal vet check that horses are only required to meet the pulse criteria within a certain time frame (30 minutes), after which there is no AERC rule stating how much time the horse has to pass the rest of the vet check. It is only at the finish where the current AERC rules are more strict with respect to how long the horse has to pass the vet check. In the current rules, the horses must pass the entire completion check within one hour. This requirement is MORE stringent (not less) than the requirement for internal vet checks. It is only for the time to meet pulse criteria that the current rules are less stringent at the finish. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
