Hey Howard, Instead of being paranoid and thinking the vets are "out to get you" I suggest this. Volunteer at several rides to be the vet scribe and find out what actually happens on the other side of the vet check. It WILL open your eyes, and has the possibitly of making you a better horseperson/endurance rider. Worked for me---880 miles with one pull, and that was due to a fall on the trail, not a pull in the VC. Happy Trails, Maureen Reno, Nv
