Correction Notes

What This Page Is For

If a passage in Rein & Field reads differently from the source it points to, a short note helps. The aim is a clear record: what you read, what the source says, and where the two part company.

A Useful Method For Checking A Passage

Start by copying the sentence or short paragraph exactly as it appears, together with the article title and the section heading above it. Open the source the article names and find the matching idea, then quote the line that supports your reading. Note the source type, such as a published behaviour study, a qualification register entry or a training provider document, and the date it carries.

Record the discrepancy in your own words in one or two sentences: the article states one thing, the source states another, and here is the difference. If the source is silent on the point rather than contradicting it, say that instead, because it is a different kind of note.

Keeping Your Own Record

Keep a dated copy of your note, the quoted passage and the source reference. This is useful whether or not the article changes, because it lets you revisit the same passage later and see what moved.

Where This Fits

Correction notes sit alongside the editorial method described on the editorial policy page. For anything about a specific horse, a qualified professional who can see the animal is the right person to ask.
