Re: Re: [RC] Myths - Bruce Weary - Leonard.LiesensHi, I remember that a study has been done in France, maybe two years ago, trying to correlate elimination factors for metabolic and horses needing treatment. I will have a look and post the results of the study. I remember that the duration of the journey to reach the venue was determining. Regards, Leonard, Belgium Bruce, We are all speculating. It would be very interesting to see the statistics on the horses that have require treatment. I'm sure the Horse Welfare Committee maintains records on how may horses require treatment every year. Truman or someone else goo with numbers should be able to correlate the riders name with their AERC record, ride distance, region or etc. I've seen similar analysis on the pull rates by distance and region. This would put to rest the argument about if LD riders are more or less responsible that endurance riders. Regards, Pete F'^qƬzqwnxi0ݺqߢ*'>bs Zgi0ݺqbun+R{.n+ 0zwnzwyƦhڲbuuy& |
