Well......upon reading my own post to ridecamp, and subtracting 15 from 36,
I realize I made a mathematical error!  Let's just say that this system has
been working, and it would be difficult to have a vet check between 15 miles
and 36 miles.  There were no horses pulled for any reason until about 69
miles.  It was a good year........
