protective boots

["John & Sue Greenall" <greenall@vermontel.com>]

The Old Dominion holds it own Best Condition separate from the AERC 
BC which is done a hour after completion.  The OD award is held the 
next morning and it requires that the horse has not worn protective 
boots during the ride.  This is a house rule, not an ECTRA rule.  
ECTRA does not allow boots for their CTR. It  does not override AERC 
rules if it is also sanctioned with ECTRA, therefore boots are 
allowed in endurance rides sanctionec by ECTRA.  There may be other 
rides that have house rules, but I am only familiar with the OD.  
Hope this clears things up.
