That's fine if you have a known and consistent abnormality.  But what if it is NOT 
consistent?  Do you go out and waste several miles warming your horse up for 
something that isn't there?

Moreover, Mr Long's point wasn't that his horse was lame, or old, or anything.  It 
was that a vet went out of his way to torque the horse's legs to PRODUCE lameness. 
Is that reasonable? Fair? I don't think so.  BTW,  have I NEVER met a vet that 
behaved that way, nor, I bet, have you.
