Yeah, I caught the part of the post earlier that said they took it for a
full minute.  I'm glad she had experience so she won't wonder.  I'd have
died if I'd had that sort of responsibility at the ROC.

I don't know either rider.  Don't want to think any mistakes were made. 
My original post was that I dislike the big penalty, not that the
pulsetaker made a mistake.  I think the big penalty is rediculous.  But
as long as we were on the subject, I was almost certain that at least at
the North American when I was there, they said it was automatic that a
vet would be called before the penalty was inforced.
