Heidi,
    What you describe is, for some, difficult to do.  And I don't mean this 
in a mean way, but putting the horse and his/her/its welfare FIRST can, for 
some, get lost in the hubbub of a vet check (where THE concern should be 
first for the horse, not for the timer...).
    I have witnessed (and even on occasion been guilty of) good horsemanship, 
i.e., going to the Vet and relating what may or may not be a problem and, on 
occasion, given up the completion and started caring for the horse, 
nonjudgmental victim to my "competitive lust."

Frank.
