You state:  <<<BUT.....most of the time if this happens, the pull is being
put down as RO.
Just look at all the RO pulls in some of the stats.  We all know some of
those riders and know better.  Don't we?  The record keeping (well,
reporting...gotta keep Bob happy) :), could use some improvement.>>>>

Realize that some of this mis-reporting is at the instigation of the riders.
They do not want any one to know their horse was lame or not in the best of
condition. The stigma of poor horsemanship is not attached to rider option
as it is to the others. Pridde enters left stage!

Heidi, I agree with you.

BUT.....most of the time if this happens, the pull is being put down as RO.

those riders and know better.  Don't we?  The record keeping (well,

Trust me when I say that things are not done the same way in all regions.

Happy Trails,

Karen
