Re: [RC] [RC] Preventing treatment (fwd) - Susan Garlinghousesend it in for analysis to verify whether electrolyte values are on average within normal levels in treated horses." I have to ask, who would pay for this? Thanks, Maureen Reno, NV My understanding is that AERC has an untapped research fund. Well-presented research grants are another source, as is corporate funding (there is a fair amount of corporate money available that doesn't necessarily directly benefit the company); or (horrors), raise member fees are some such by a buck. Yeah, I know, there are hordes of endurance riders eating peanut butter to scrape together the money for just one entry fee this year, but it's still cheaper than any horse show fees on earth. For that matter, all it takes to run a packed cell and total proteins is a portable centrifuge and a refractometer. Less than $200 total and one person to run samples at a ride. Pretty reasonable.
