Just like everyone else, you're on the outside looking in.
Nevertheless, whatever your skill set is, you are still merely guessing, too.
Because you're not directly involved with the horse.

As I said, damn sorry I added my professional opinion based upon my experience and my local contacts in the veterinary community.
