Because -- there is a difference between taking prudent preventive  
measures, and being oblivious with regard to having an unsafe horse;   
lots of horses will kick if they are crowded or run into from behind,  
but that is a different situation from having a horse that will  
deliberately try and *move over* to get in range of another horse, and  
kick to prevent them passing, etc. (while the rider doesn't have a  
clue...)

Same for being unsafe to examine.  Horses do get excited, and dance  
around, but that is different from a horse that tries to bite or kick  
the vet.  For that matter, there is a line (probably different for  
each vet, and influenced by how hot, cold, and/or tired they are) as  
to how much "dancing around" is permissible.    (I'm just glad I  
didn't get DQ'd for the time Caisson stepped on the scales, because I  
wasn't paying attention to where I stopped to dismount....)
