Re: [RC] Overridden and Fit to Continue - Jim HollandHmmmm...Have to disagree on this one. I have to weigh in on the mama's darling to do a better job....from my experience of many years as crew and listening to all the exchanges between riders and vets, typically, IMHO, any rider who spills his guts to the Vet about his horse gives a damn...big time. That also mirrors my own experience with vets....be honest, ask for an opinion, share your own, err on the side of the horse....and everybody wins..including the horse. Get to know the Vets in your region, PROVE you know what you're doing...NEVER compromise your horse, ASK for a recommendation....and TAKE it when given. That takes a load off the Vet...I appreciate their trust....and they appreciate the concern for the horse. Violate that trust and you will NEVER get it back. Shee-it...I tried to get Otis to pull me at the 2nd Vet Check at GERA..but he made me go back out! <grin> He really liked Magic's trot out!

I would consider a hedged bet on the horse with the spur marks to be taken better care of since it has some monetary value to the owner.
