Re: [RC] Ride time v. Elapsed Time - Jim HollandThis issue has been discussed several times. The problem, as I understand it, is that we are asking for that informtion on the Ride Sanction form. That information may not be finalized at sanction time and the fields cannot be updated once the sanctioning has been entered. Completion of all fields on the Ride Sanction form is not enforced by AERC. Seems to me that a ride should not be sanctioned unless the form is complete....otherwise, why bother to ask? In addition, we should ask for that data with ride RESULTS....much easier for the Ride Manager and more accurate....and withhold posting ride results until all information is provided. If AERC can withhold ride results for non-payment of fees, we can also do it for incomplete forms....that is, if we are really serious about collecting valid data and using it constructively for the benefit of our horses. I hope, with some prodding from the Horse Welfare Committee, and other associated Committees, this will be addressed by the BOD, who have been aware of this problem for some time.

Along with the amount of hold time the distribution of the hold time would be of interest, e.g. 3 40 minute holds in a 50 compared to two one hour holds, etc. The interesting thing is that there are fields in the DB for hold times, number of checks, etc. but they are all blank. In general this information is not supplied by the RM's. It would be very useful to have such data and would go a long way in putting together a better picture. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
