I own horses and was watching a horse program on a
cable channel called RFDTV, which one of the last places you would think that
metrication would be discussed. Yet there was a program dealing with mules
(!) and competitions for mules in cross-country jumping that explained that the
time for completing the course was based on a average speed of 350-375 m/minute,
and that "there is no need to covert to feet to find out how fast your mule is
going...."
I think this is the same as the rules for
3-day-eventing, which is a horse activity involving extended cross-country
courses and based on European roots and rules. There is probably a website
with these rules, if one is interested.
