Sorry to hear this... my understanding is riders don't argue
with the P&R people... the P&R people are right.
> I have never had anyone using a HRM argue about the P&R checks.
Hmm... Check the archives. The OLD archives. I'm positive
you will find posts declaring that the opposite is true...
that in someone else's opinion (which by the way carries the
same weight as your own... that's y-o-u-r as in the opinion
belongs to you) riders WITH HRM's argued with P&R people more
often than those without.
By the way, Maryben taught me a long time ago how to check
my horse's P&Rs with just a watch... not even a stethascope.
I have one (it fits both horses and people) but I still
hold my breath until the Official P&R person *tells me*
where my horse is at.
>I believe that they should be required on all AERC events.
OK... and while we're at it, let's (as in "let us") include
manditory GPS's that keep track of EXACTLY where the rider
and horse have been so we can once and for sure know that
they covered the required distance...
... in otherwords, perhaps you're (you are) just having a
bad hair day?
