[RC] Is my horse off? When vet opinions differ... - Aaron Turnage

I may be worrying over nothing but this has been eating at me since Saturday (Friday actually).  I have a non-arab grade horse (breeding unknown).  He has a lot of "action" on the front when he trots, sometimes people ask if he is gaited (he's not).  We just got our 500 miles in endurance this past weekend and have about 200 in LD.  At the ride this weekend, there was a very highly respected and well-known vet.  He has not ever seen nor vetted my horse before.  On Friday at the pre-check, we trotted out and back and he went around and checked my boy's right hind leg.  I asked if something was wrong and he said that he was slightly off behind.  Hhhmmm...  I asked if we were okay to start and he said sure.  Just then another vet showed up, who has vetted my horse MANY times, including just two weeks ago.  I asked her to please watch him trot and she told me that he looked "perfectly semetrical and totally sound."  So at least I felt a little better.
 
During the ride, only the lady vet saw my horse (the one that knows him).  He received an A for gait at both checks and was feeling great all day.  At the finish, the guy vet did the completion check.  We trotted about 8 steps (literally) and he told me okay.  I came back and he asked if I knew my horse was off behind.  I said "No, he felt fine all day."  When my friend who was standing there offered to trot my horse for me so I could watch as well I was told by the vet, "I wouldn't do that.  Just take your completion and go."  I was TOTALLY FLOORED!  Wow!  That just seemed so rude.  He also didn't even have a stethescope at the completion check so my horse was not checked for pulse nor gut sounds.  Neither was back, muscle tone, etc checked.  Very different than what I'm used to.
 
So now I'm being paranoid.  Our goal is Tevis this year and I'm worried that my horse may move "differently" and maybe appears off???  I've had probably a total of 10 or more vets look at him through our distance career the last three years so far and no one else has ever mentioned this.  If the guy vet wasn't who he was, I probably would not be worried, but this is supposedly a very experienced vet.  Help!  What would you do?
