RE: [RC] Vetting out - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.Of course, that's why we're there. The vet may not be too happy about having a half-hour dissertation about "how can I improve my gut sound scores from an A minus to an A" when there are horses stacking up in line, but if you have any hint, even just a gut feeling, that something isn't right---march right up and ask. That's the whole point of having vets there and equipment and medical supplies to treat trouble.

Just a question.

It was over 80 degrees and the first ride of the season for us coming down from the North. My horse still had lots of winter coat so I rode very conservatively all day and I think I was next to last or therabouts. I finished around 5pm and only the vet was there. All he checked was my pulse and sent me on my way back to camp. My horse coliced later that night and required tubing. Never even got a completion award. Will never go back there.

If so, I would fire that crew without the customary 30 days notice. How awful.

If you crew left with your rig...that would definately be more depressing.
