that's good, maybe they will keep doing it more randomly.  I just
was posting that I had not ever seen it done any other way but with the
top ten horses at any ride I've seen tested, maybe I just need to get out
more :+).  In California, they get you when your horse comes in and
pees in the vet check.  We have been tested a lot, so I have had a
lot of opportunity to talk to the lady doing the urine collecting while
we fill out all the paperwork.  it takes up most of your vet check
time to get thru all of that.  I would like to know if she was right
when she told me that only positives over certain levels were reported.
Believe me, I really questioned and argued the point with her too, as it
didn't seem right to me.  I was just surprised that it was not against
California law to compete in any kind of an equine event with 2 grams of
bute in your horse.  Obviously, it is against AERC rules, I just was
surprised that sort of thing is considered legal and acceptable in
California.
