Re: [RC] re: Endpoint of an endurance ride - Maggie Mieske

I have seen this "ride in and holler at the vet for a trot out"
scenario...what are the rules in regard to this?  Is there a rule?  Can a
ride manager make a "no trot outs until you present to the vet for pulse"
policy?  I know it is done to avoid the possibility that your horse may
cramp up or have something crop up that might affect his completion.   I
could maybe see trotting out immediately on a cold, wet day when that would
be an issue but have seen it in the heat and humidity of summer.  I could
have possibly used it myself to avoid a pull at the end of a ride but I
never present to the vet before I present for pulse...what are some
thoughts, opinions, ideas about this?
Miles of smiles,
Maggie
