RE: [RC] Pull codes - Katrina MosshammerI would say that 1) is the required examination. I would say that 4) would fall under the same category as treatment, meaning it is a private matter between individuals. Katrina -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Teeter So the following 4 step scenario is possibly the most common: 1) you arrive at a gate, go in to the vet check and receive a Fit2Continue evaluation 2) you determine that you will not continue (note that now you fit in to the RO category as defined by M.s article) 3) you announce you are not continuing 4) you present for your final evaluation (if this is indeed required) and the vet determines that your horse is metabolically distressed or Lame and the RO is modified to RO-M (or RO-L as the case may be) Note that the two sentences quoted from Melissa's article do not address this scenario completely. They stop at step 2 I think. my contention is that since 1) occurred, you have the option for 2) which leads to 3) and that by doing 4) the vet may help you determine if it is RO-L, RO-M, RO-SF, or just RO, but they should not re- evaluate their determination of 1), which was fit2continue, EVEN IF, at this point, your horse is not fit to continue. jt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
