ScoreSheet

Before the drive, you will present your horse to the veterinarian for inspection. 
The veterinarians are in essence, the judges of the event. 
They check the horse's pulse, respiration, gut sounds, and look for problem areas. 
The vets will ask you to walk your horse in a straight line and then trot him out in a large circle. 
Any sign of lameness and your horse would be disqualified. 
Horses are expected to have good manners during the vet check and points are 
deducted for unruly behavior. All vital signs and other observations are noted 
on each horse's score sheet. Each horse begins the event with 400 points, 
and points may be deducted throughout the drive.
