----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Cochran" <fairway97045@xxxxxxxxx> >I think the rules say if you are entered and on the grounds you are suppose >to show or have a vet excuse.> This Rule has changed...I'm not sure when, but it's been more than 15 years ago, which is when I first joined a professional ring stewarding association and was told of the change...it is now quite common for exhibitors to turn armbands back in after picking them up, usually if a major breaks...it also happens sometimes in breeds that have a height or weight disqualification when a judge calls for the wicket or scale...
