Just read your nice post re: the Biltmore Ride. As a professional
fundraiser, you are to be commended for running what I believe is one of
the most organized, professional events I have been affiliated with. I
consider it an honor to be asked to help. Ray Randall and the other
vets were a vast source of knowledge. I learned so much, considering
what would be spent on a clinic, that I could have paid YOU for the
experience! Here's the best of what I learned: the best way to present
a horse, especially a tired one, is to trot straight to a pre-determined
spot. Stop dead. Turn your horse, until he is straight and then trot
back. The torque on a tired leg when twisted around is very dangerous.
Ken, a sports medicine specialist was awsome. He is close enough for me
to trailer if I ever need him. I was privy to six vets discussing the
best treatment for scratches. I was able to ask ANY question and get a
variety of opinions. WELL DONE ANNE!
