RE: [RC] Preventing treatment - Steph TeeterSounds like a good proposal for the Board, or veterinary committee to consider...

Considering the complaints from the past, about it being to much of a burden on the Vets and ride Managers, how would you propose to obtain the data in a worthwhile way? Well, that certainly has always been the snag! I envision a 2-part form; the first part filled out by the vet at the ride and forwarded to AERC, the second part sent home with the rider. The "vet" part would list clinical symptoms, treatment, and comments--shouldn't be too difficult; surely they writing down how much banamine, etc when they generate a bill, no? The rider part would be completed at home and mailed in--more comprehensive listing things like history (horse/rider?), feeding protocol, trailering, what the rider experienced during the episode, etc. If the 'committee'' received the 'vet' part, they would know to look for the 'rider' part. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
