Re: [RC] RO-L vs LAME - Beth Walker

OK ... interesting. About the best I can come up with is that, yes -- if by the time the vet looks at the horse and decides (at that time) that it is fit to continue, the code would probably have to be RO-X. Note that, however, if the vet looked at the horse and decided that it was *not* fit to continue, the code would be Lame or Metabolic. :)

I disagree. In this example, the horse went lame between two control points (preride and vet check 1). The next time the horse could be officially pulled would be at Vet Check 1
This is an interesting point. If, the rider turns around and goes back to the previous check-point(the start in your example), they have already eliminated themselves from the competition. (for not following the prescribed trail)

They would never receive an in-time at Vet Check 1, nor would the vet at Vet Check 1 ever get a chance to look at the horse. In fact, if all the vets left camp and went to vet check1 it's quite possible there would be no evaluation for quite some time and -

, and the vet has the first crack at it. Therefore: LAME, not RO-L.
It is possible that, by the time the vet evaluates the horse, whatever problem was there has gone away. In this case, the rider had "first crack at it", therefor RO-L not L :)
