If we were under the Australian system...would this go on your record? My horse coliced the first time I tried giving probiotics...I gave them at every vet check on a 100 and at 80 miles he got gassy...no treatment needed, just walking. I pulled myself since he had already passed the vet check. I learned my lesson, no punishment needed other than blowing that ride. If we carried a book around, would we not be more tempted to avoid returning to the vets on borderline cases? I once pulled for thumps (my only metabolic pull other than the above gassy episode.) I'd won some over the counter electrolytes (non endurance brand) and used them. He got thumps. No treatment necessary. Never used them again, never thumped again. No further punishment necessary. How would that look on my record? Would the vet have a way to differentiate between that and a horse who was ridden into the ground? What would my punishment be? Is that part of the "Warning system?"
