At the only 3 rides I've been to (as a worker once and a rider twice), the
head vet did this at all of the rides.........I stayed for the meeting all
three times.......very informative and we could ask about anything we wanted
to know......it helped to hear the other folks questions too, since you
don't have the slightest idea what you don't know until you find out you
didn't know it  :)
