Exactly!  I think the codes are fine...just that the
vets or RM doesn't report correctly.

You said that if the horse "just doesn't feel right"
that would be a M pull even though the rider made the
decision.  However, if the horse doesn't meet the
criteria for the vet to pull and can't really say
something metabolically is going on, can you still
report the pull as M?
