Absolutely, Kim! There is a huge difference between a rider who, with all the 
best preparation, has a horse who for whatever reason on a particular day 
gets into distress. Those horses need to be treated, not hidden. I would hope 
to NOT see that horse - or any other - in those same hands, repeatedly being 
treated. Clearly, things can go wrong when one does EVERYTHING right. The 
riders who continue to ride in a way that sends their horse(s) into distress 
should by design be considered pariahs :)!
