Penny says :
June 10, 2018To clarify, this is only meant to add a separate competition of two parts and not eliminate the three phase competition – correct. If this is mean to eliminate the option for a three phase, then I strongly object. The three phase competition is the one that clearly shows the separation of ADS levels and allows the inexperienced competitor to learn the pace of the walk cross country.

June 14, 2018I am not in favor. Keep our current WALK section!
rules says :
July 19, 2018The CDC recommends approval with “ADS option” added to the title.
keithy says :
July 19, 2018I am not in favor of this RCS. When do the equines get a rest if the Walk Section is eliminated? I thought that the welfare of the equine was our primary concern. Also the chart lists the speed for Preliminary Section B as “Free”. This does not agree with the current rules.
Zantke says :
August 28, 2018I too am still not in favor, even with the addition of the CDC to make it just an option.
ashemont says :
August 29, 2018Not in favor. The walk is too important to eliminate!

August 30, 2018As an addition to the current single phase HDT and 3 phase CDE, I am in favor of this RCP. It allows more option for organizers.
love2083 says :
August 30, 2018I am not in favor. I like training for the walk section and feel it is a very necessary part of conditioning and training.

August 30, 2018I am not in favor. I like training for the walk section and feel it is a very necessary part of conditioning and training. I also live and show in Florida and I can see many of the events adapting this format because it uses fewer volunteers.
Linda Yutzy says :
August 31, 2018I am not in favor. This has been discussed before and all the reasons for not following FEI are still valid.
