Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [RC] protecting horses

Nancy,

There was a situation at a ride three or four years back where a ride
manager held a check without a vet present. It was just a stop-n-go (meet
pulse criteria and continue on). Vonita (and TERA) agreed that this was in
violation of the AERC rules. The TERA rides always have a vet on hand at any
control point on the rides.
