There is merit to the concept of pre-authorization, though I am sure there 
must be legal arguments concerning the validity of such authorization. That 
aside, I think this was the direction that Dr. Baldwin was going with his 
resolution concerning pre-agreement to open records for education ... which 
was passed at the last mid-year meeting.

The costs of any post-event (be it either treatment and/or death) 
evaluations might be borne by AERC. The head vet, as an agent of the AERC, 
might provide the authorization (including authorization to pay any 
associated fees/expenses). Of course the owner of the eqine may refuse that 
service, thus withdrawing from the AERCs growing body of knowledge 
concerning Endurance Riding.
