I think this is the way it works now: After you
present your horse for the post-ride vet check, and after the vet has given the
horse a completion, that completion cannot be revoked, even if the horse needs
treatment 5 minutes later. Once the vet gives a completion, it is a done
deal. I don't remember that a rider has to wait one hour for his post-ride
VC. If the horse is recovered his pulse to criteria, I think the
rider can present any time he wants to. I rode a LD on a new horse last
fall, and I presented as soon as I crossed the finish line.
If this is incorrect information, I'm sure someone will
correct me, and I hope they do if I'm wrong.
It is my understanding that in order to complete a ride the horse may
not be treated until one hour after completion. Is this one hour after
crossing the finish line, one hour after vetting out or in the case of
standing for BC one hour after the BC vetting? Just curious.
