That would be a good start, although at events such as Pan Ams, etc. that
draw horses from all over the continent, or WECs where they even fly in, I'd
also sure like to see CPKs, SGOTs (sorry, no caffeine yet--what do they call
those nowadays), and BUNs.

I also like your idea of using some of the surplus AERC funds to pay for
bloodwork on any horses that need to be treated.
