[RC] Rule change - andreab

Just a further 2 cents as a foreign reader of this thread.

After the WEG there were quite a few complaints about the US riders not being 
competitive
enough etc.

Don't you think changing the rule from 60min to 30min may possibly help in the
conditioning of horse and rider to be able to still ride the final leg fast and 
then vet
in within 30min?  From what I see from results, the last leg of international 
competitions
is many times the fastest leg of the rides.  Those horses have to pulse down in 
30min.

As mentioned before, if you are concerned about the welfare of horses crashing 
post
meeting criteria after 30min, consider what we apply in South Africa, a further 
check
before leaving the grounds at the earliest 2 hours after completing.

Sure I have put my foot in it
now!
