[RC] Logbooks - Rusty TothHow many would use a logbook if AERC gave it to you free of charge? Would you use it if became available from another source? How many would use it if you had to pay for the logbook? One could make a logbook - fill it with pages of "ride cards" and fill in the data as the rides progress and have a simple page keeping a running tally of completions, pulls and the reason for the full. If it was metabolic list what kind of issue and if treatment was needed. It would be more like a report card for your horse but an easy way to keep all the data in one place. I for one would be willing to buy a logbook. I think the information could only serve to help me learn. I will say I thank all involved in the Horse Welfare committee, change is difficult to make happen in any large group and I believe you all are doing the best you can. I think AERC should be interested in keeping or creating logbooks for horses, it simply would be the best and easiest way to have a record of all the horses performance in this amazing sport over time; the span of a career. Sometimes the best way to create change is for it to grow slowly from the ground up rather than waiting for the "government" to make it happen. If we all started using logbooks would AERC not see value in the information created by them in time? If membership took the initiative to make a change would AERC follow? Or do we need something to be a rule before we as membership do anything other than complain? -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
