Re: RC: FEI

[Merryben@aol.com]

This is actually a rule that was passed by FEI and went into effect at the 
first of the year.  Between the time you cross the finish line and your post 
ride check you are allowed to IV the horse with fluids.  The theory is to 
start rehydrating them immediately.  This has nothing to do with AERC 
International and the committee was going to object to this new ruling.  
However, there is not much chance of FEI changing the rule.  I may not have 
this exactly correct but the part about allowing IV's prior to the check is 
true.      Maryben
