Re: [RC] Rule Change Proposal, questions - marshall BatesI honestly don't think we can regulate out the idiots. I feel sorry for their mounts, but I for one don't want more rules, restrictions etc. Take a look at the Ducks rules and check out the treatment rate at his rides. As far as LD goes (most of my rides are LD's so that I can crew for my wife at longer distances) I don't think they should be considered a race and therefore no BC is necessary. I also disagree with any rule that puts in a minimum time for LD's. One of these days my mount may just feel like sailing over the trail and I can see no reason to have to slow her down just because some people have over ridden their horses. I also disagree with lowering the HR for LD's-the present system works. My wife and I left CTR because of all the rules, please don't shut down this venue for us. One other comment- all of you who think "one more piece of paper or one more thing for the ride manager to check" is no big thing- put on a ride or two and see how much more work you are willing to take on.
