There were six vets watching your trot-out. The other folks were vet recorders. The plan was to have three vets evaluating the trot-out and three vets observing, and (theoretically, at least) those observing were not supposed to make any comments or participate in any discussion about the horse. After a while, those doing the evaluation cycled over to doing hands-on, the trot observers became the trot evaluators, and three more vets who'd been doing hands-on went over to be the trot-out observers. Eventually, all the vets cycled through all three procedures. The purpose of this maneuver was to try to get the vets to be consistent in their lameness evaluations throughout the 100-, 50- and 25-mile rides.
