I think for rides over here in the UK you are not supposed to
actually touch the horse at all during the vetting, unless asked to.
In practice I never seen a vet object, especially if it is keeping
the horse still. I will give the TEAM stuff a try, perhaps in the time
leading up to the vetting, and hopefully he will be quieter while they
take his pulse.
Thanks for all the advice folks,
