The only downside to this, is that there are lots of rides who hire pretty 
green vets.  Howzabout we allow the riders to counsel the vets in those 
cases?<bg>

Seriously -- the vets that know enough to be doing this, already do -- and 
the ones that don't -- well -- probably shouldn't be.  Are they going to 
have any sort of check system to see that the person doing the counseling 
actually knows what they are doing?

Also, does it mean by giving the vets part of the responsibility of the 
horses welfare, that the rider is not 100% responsible?
