At the risk of ticking off 'someone', after HEARING this exchange, I asked
this question as well. I thought as I stood there with a horse in hand, are
you KIDDING??? We waited for a half hour for a vet to even show up there to
vet in our horse, and indeed, there were too few vets to even conduct a vet
check at the first stop for the LD riders. In addition to the obvious
problems with such a statement was the attitude with which it as delivered -
condescending and arrogant. Shameful. I was there. I heard it. It was rude,
untrue and out of line - unprofessional. Never having been exposed to this
kind of attitude on the part of a vet, I was fairly shocked. If OUR vet - or
any member of our staff behaved like that, I would be vet shopping before
sunrise.

I didn't bring this up, but it has been on my mind. I personally don't care
if a vet is the best darned vet on the face of the earth (I won't even GO
THERE in this case); I was embarrassed for the vet in question, the vet who
was insulted and hurt, and also for the RM for sporting support foe such a
person. Sorry but it was rude and unprofessional. I was there.
