Speaking of slowing down, what percentage of riders, get off, loosen their 
tack and walk, oh, say the last 1/2 mile? Wondering ,since I do it in all my 
training rides, to hopefully teach him to relax and slow his heart rate.And 
do most ride managers mark some distance before the vet check as a signal to 
the riders? At Talladeaga they did ," vet check ahead ,so much distance."And 
/ or would feeding him some hay/goodies be good at that time for gut 
sounds>I am hoping to walk in and go right to VC.(on my sloooow first ride.
