Really?  In the hands of MPI?  FFS they are too busy responding to nut case complaints about cows being too hot or too wet!

well NZTR told me 'have patience..help is coming" translate.."the RIB ore too busy/understaffed to be caring much about whip welfare The proof of Matt Bellesty's stated commitment to welfare will be in the next round of whip iterations  Will they totally ban the forehand use forward of the saddle and any use between the shoulder/hindquarter.(.just like first world jurisdictions)...which RIB are basically ignoring... What should be done DQ's for obvious cheating...every whip violation counts in a 6 month period...the entire whip length padded...et el

"marking cards' saying something falsely? I sent 17 communications to various 'stakeholders'...2 ignored them..including you (remarkably you couldn't see the whip wrapped under an ear proceeding on to hugging the eye socket while contacting the corner of the eye..the last 4 you ignored) 2 trainers, whose horses had their ears flattened said they'd "leave it to the RIB to sort" The rest more or less said it's "obviously against the rules and horse's shouldn't be subjected to head contact" end of...so 'mark your cards" right back at ya
