Vet lines are a whole nother kettle of fish. We don't see those much in 
the SE. Yes that could slow you down. I guess back in the SE we now have 
so many rides to chose from that one with long vet lines would not be 
around for very long. Normally I'm into pulse as soon as he is down - 
actually I head in when he hits the magic number and he is down when I 
get there (great to ride a horse long enough to know him). Then through 
the vet and with a 40 minute hold - sitll at least 35 minutes to eat.

So if you have vet lines - maybe you should be protesting to the ride 
management.
