I've been following this thread and Kathy's obervation
about the vets possibly requesting Bev to leave is not
uncommon.  Animals pick up on our fears and concerns
and this can adversly affect them.  It is possible the
vets just didn't need the horse upset any more than
necessary, and Bev's emotional state could have done
just that.  I hope Paladin makes a full recovery and
would be great to see him out on the trails once
again.

Esther and Chagalle who know exactly what I'm thinking
even before I do
