Doesn't anyone see anything wrong with the above statement? I had heard that 
the Duck sat in his lawn chair, and vet checked horses from there as well as 
from his motor cycle.  There is no way to check gut sounds, cap. refill, 
mucous membranes etc. from your motor cycle or lawn chair.  Plus THIS is a 
clear rules violation!

2.1.4 Each equine will receive a substantive physical examination of 
metabolic and mechanical parameters before the ride, at control points within 
the ride and after the ride.
