Steve,

I couldn't agree more! Even when you are presenting your horse, they don't 
say much...!

> GIVE ME MORE!
> This is something that I have been asking officials at many big rides for 
> about 5 years.
>
> When ride management/vets have all top ten horses show at the same time, 
> especially at major events, such as Tevis, Old Dominion, NC Championship or 
> FEI events, why can't they share more information with observers, other 
> than just the trot outs?
> It would be MUCH more educational and interesting if they would share with 
> us, at the time, some of their basic findings that are non judgmental, such 
> as pulse, respiration and cardiac recovery. If they are giving a hydration 
> or gut sounds of A, B or C then simply tell us. This does not mean that we 
> have to second guess them on the finding, but these parameters would sure 
> help me is appraising the trot out, demeanor, finishing time and "look" of 
> the horse.
>
> What other parameters do they record that could be shared with us at the 
> time that would be educational?
>
> I would hope that AERC and others would join me in lobbying the vets and 
> management to make the BC judging more educational and interesting.
