Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] Protecting.... - Jim HollandHmmmm...sounds like the best solution would be to take Susan K's advice to make everyone stay overnite.... <grin> Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic Truman Prevatt wrote: So old Billybob decides to forego staying for the after ride entertainment ( a free Bo Diddley concert ) and to take the horse home - it's only and hour dirve - and call his vet out. On the way home he calls his vet and has him meet Billybob at his home and tells him the problem. But alas - since time is critical in giving emergency care - by the time Billybob gets home poor sold Smitley is on deaths downward sprial, a sprial from which he never recovers. Three hours later Billyboy is laying his beloved Smitley to rest in a big hole in the ground in his pasture. Billybob is kicking himself - "if only I'd gone to the vet at the ride - this would not have happened." Any rule has unintended consequences. I feel the unintended consequences from Angie's Rule could be an absolute desaster to some poor horse that needs the care but someone's ego or just plain bad judgement gets in the way. We should be in this to help the horse not to further endanger the horses. Truman terre wrote: -- Richard T.
