Re: [RC] okay, another question - Joe LongElizabeth Walker wrote: I don't quite see the relevance of the 'public land' issue in this particular case - a person entered the ride and presented for the pre-ride check, at which time they were disqualified. 2.1.5.2 Equines disqualified by the vets must not continue on. This practice by a rider is considered grounds for barring that rider from future rides. Since the rider was DQ'd at the pre-ride check, I would expect that riding any portion of the marked trail at the same time as other riders should fall under this rule. It doesn't matter that the horse was DQd for reasons other than health - in this case especially - since it was DQ'd for dangerous behavior. Elizabeth, you are correct. No, the AERC can't call the cops and have the guy hauled off the trail, but they certainly can (and IMO should) suspend the rider from future AERC rides for a period of time appropriate to the infraction. If someone at the ride (which could have been the ride manager) filed a protest this may have been done. -- Joe Long aka ChipRider jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
