    Jon,
    If you're talking about the results in AERC news, I think that when the office enters the rider's membership number it automatically spits out the members name as recorded in AERC records. Being thus branded as a DVM means that us ride managers can pick on them to vet our rides if needed. ;->

    I am just curious why riders or ride managers opt to put DVM after the name
of those competitors who are vets?  I am not dissing vets........god bless
them all, particularly those that work at events.  But when you are riding
in an event I'd think we are all the same.  Right? Any vet I have ever
ridden with was just Ken, Jim, or Theresa, and I was always Jon, just as
when I have ridden with graphic artists, MBA's, school teachers (w/or w/out
a masters), physicians, construction engineers, etc. I never see MD, PhD,
CPA, LVN, "perfromance artist", "erotic dancer", "sanitary engineer" or
anything else in  ride results next to a competitors name, so is there some
convention here I am missing? Please don't say it is because it is an
equine event.  There are PLENTY of humans who compete in athletics who are
well titled who compete as "Just Bob".
