In response to:"The vet committee is looking to add body score to 
the riders cards. I am glad to hear that but I do hope they use it 
as well. In other words, I hope that if a horse is presented with 
a body score of 3 or 4 and is signed up for a 100 miler, the vets 
won't be afraid to say, "No, not today. Come back when the horse 
has some reserve."

Actually in several cases in California rides,  I've seen the 
control judge use "too thin to start" as a reason for not passing 
the initial check.  These were in 50 mile rides.

I think the control judges have some latitude in their initial 
inspection to do this.
