RE: [RC] 30 Min rule - Mcgann, BarbaraJim, You wrote: As in a court of law, or in an "inquiry committee" (this is already a part of AERC), we have the ability to handle situations such as Barb's where there are mitigating circumstances. There are always exceptions....in all walks of life. ===Except that at the time it was occurring, no one knew what the mitigating circumstances were....only in hindsight, and after an additional 10 years of horses going to rides from my ranch can I say for absolute sure that the water was the culprit. At the time, though, I'm sure that many fellow endurance riders just thought I was an idiot or worse. You also say: Why don't you do this....ask Mike Maul write a little program that will list each AERC member along with their number of metabolic pulls? That shouldn't be difficult. You MIGHT learn something interesting....and maybe useful. ===This is EXACTLY the witch hunt that gets so many of us going. If you run this program, I am going to show up at the top of the list with 10-15 metabolic pulls!!!!! But, we've just been through all the reasons why that would be an absolute travesty of justice to brand me with the label. I would be surprised if every other person on the list doesn't either have a perfectly good reason to be there or, it is still in the unexplainable category. I found my problem, but what if I hadn't found it before your rule kicked in? I guess I would have just been forced to quit and would be an unsuitable rider.
