Ridecamp: [RC] Vets and LDs

In response to:
 It takes into account that there may be a limited amount
of vet time available for this.  They may not have time to
look at every horse in the LD ride.

 WHAT? I'm the mother of a toddler.  I
cannot devote myself to being the *true* endurance rider and 
move up to
50's at this time.  After 20 miles, I'm tired!  My horse is 
getting tired!
It's 90 degrees with 100% humidity.  You mean I can't have 
the peace of
mind, the professional 2nd opinion, the Vet's double okay 
that we completed
in good condition?  I know we have, but I have double vision 
at this point,
what If I miss something that the vet will pick up on? 
Hell, let's just
leave the vet out of the whole race.  If the 50+ milers in 
other regions
think the LD riders don't need a vet check, then maybe they 
wouldn't need a
vet check either?  Shoot, that would really reduce our entry 
fees!
*******************

If you read the post - it's talking about having a vet look 
at every horse in the ride for BC.

The vet has already looked at the horse for completion. 
This is the standard part of the ride - nothing has changed.

I'm pointing out that the extra time spent on going over 
every horse as if it were a potential BC winner may not be 
possible.  A BC exam takes considerably longer than a normal 
completion exam.
