In response to:"So you could get a completion within 15 minutes, 
then have your horse treated 15 min. later and the completion stands."

Your horse could be treated immediately after a completion and the 
completion stands.  If an accident happened immediately after your 
horse completed the final vet check - for example - kicked by 
another horse - treating the horse would be the right thing to do 
and certainly has nothing to do with the horse completing the ride.

A more important reason for the rule is that if there were a time 
limit in which a completion could be removed for veterinary 
reasons - some riders might delay treatment until after this time 
to get the completion.

This would be contrary to our interest in making sure that the 
sport is safe for our horses.  Delaying treatment could cause a 
problem that is not treated as early as possible to develop into a 
major problem later.
