I did not start at the North Americans in Kananaskis as a result of a blood 
test.  My horse had tied up 3 weeks prior - the blood test showed that her 
muscle enzymes were still slightly elevated.  Funnily enough, most of the 
pulls on that ride were tie ups.  I was devastated that we could not start 
but in retrospect glad that we didn't!  Glad to see more rides (mostly 
FEI)  where testing is becoming the norm.
