Whether or not I stay over depends on the ride distances--100's I stay over,
50's I do not, 75's depends on the ride.  I have to charge more accordingly.
Again, though, in our area (as in Dr. Newell's area), it is not difficult to
find a decent equine vet within 30 or 40 miles of most of our rides.  (We have
something like a dozen rides within a 100-mile radius of Bend, Oregon.)
