The only
reason that I might feel embarased about being pulled or having a pull code
recorded is if I knew that I had done something wrong like knowingly
overriding my horse or riding in a 2nd ride in the same weekend when I knew
that my horse wasn't really ready for that. Maybe these people are
embarased that there horse was pulled because they know it was really their
fault
Yes agreed - I would be too; things happen and a caring rider is more
concerned about the horse's welfare and would cringe at the idea that he or she
"hurt" the horse. Sadly, some are not embarrassed that their horse was pulled so
much as the fact that people know about it - otherwise why would they care what
the pull code is or whether or not it is in writing? Kind of like the thief who
is not sorry he stole but is terribly, terribly sorry he got
caught.:) S
