Had a ride vet up here who doesn't do more than
just this one ride, pull a BIG scab off my friends horse leg at the vet in! Made
it bleed cause it was not ready to come off but it was healed enough to be fine
for the ride if he didn't pull the scab off! Of course the horse was tender
after that. I didn't know if that was against the AERC rules and didn't know to
make a stink or not. Is that against the rules?
We (Joel, Joni and myself) have a name for "those vets". We
call them "The Diggy Vets".
It seems that they are wanting to see how deep into the meat they can
insert their fingers.
And you are right, we have, and I am sure other do to, have to try
and arrange so that we can go to other vets in the vet line. Not that is
happens in the SE a lot, but there are times.

vets often have a bad habit of digging in with their fingertips. FLAT
hand, firm pressure. We do want to know if our horse's back is sore. We
don't want to know if you have a good enough grip to put a horse that's
never been ridden on the ground. :-)
