Kim,

As far as I know this has always (at least in the modern day) been a 
requirement. It's not a big deal. At the SE rides the data is collected 
by the head timer (she gets the cards from the vet). She normally fills 
out the form and gives them to the RM.  The report is reviewed by the 
head vet and RM and off it goes. Most of the time riders with lame 
horses will return with them when there is a lull in the vetting to try 
to determine the reason. That information could also be included. All 
treatments have to be reported so that is already in place.

Currently this reporting is no big deal.
