    [RC] Pulse, Resp, Temps? - Wrecksduke

    When we first started participating in endurance rides here in SouCal, it 
seemed that they did check respiration (looking for inversions).  Now it 
seems that they only check Pulse.  Its not really a "P&R" anymore.

Is it up to the head vet to decide if its a P, P&R, or P,R & T?

>From experience, its not the easiest thing to do under duress...... to 
measure a horse's pulse AND respiration..... with the rider looking on 
impatiently.

Who decided to take Temps at Malibu?
