Sorry, Susan, I meant Colorado State, your alma mater, and they were graduates from your school.

Speaking only for the equine necropsies done at Colorado State, the charge
was around $125-150, I think.  We did a *very* thorough exam, every organ
looked at in extreme detail, but that was partly because it was a learning
issue for us.  In practice, it could be more than that given the time
involved.  However, speaking only for myself, if a horse died at a ride, I
think I would just recruit some help and get it done.
