We were laughing the other day about something we saw at last year's 
Grizzly Mountain ride.  The weather had been  nasty, cold and wet all day 
and we were crewing for a friend who had just ridden her first 50 on a 
borrowed horse.  They came in nice and strong and the vet was watching as 
they finished.  Then he watched as the mare dragged Sherry across the 
vetting in area.  He had her trot just a few strides and waved his hand and 
said "she's fine".  It was obvious that she was fit to continue and we 
thought he showed a nice understanding of that and good common sense.
