Hi all,

It worries me a great deal to read that vets may base their decisions on 
what they either perceive or know to be a rider's level of experience 
instead of a professional and unbias analysis of the horse's symptoms. 
As endurance riders we think of ourselves (often rightly) as experts on 
our horse's physical and mental health.  We watch and interact with them 
on an intimate level and for great lengths of time day in and day out; 
gauging their every movement, posture and expression as normal or 
abnormal.  Sometimes, we may take this understanding of our horse too 
far and interrupt rather than supplement what should be an objective 
examination of our horse, for after all, that's why the vets are there, 
aren't they?
