Only you're not using the same proscribed lameness scale. You're saying that a horse that is exhibiting a AAEP grade 1 lameness is not lame.

Come off it already. Your trying to evoke visions of crippled, brokedown horses to downplay the admittedly minor degree of lameness observed in Havre De Grace. It's obvious you're trying to blow smoke and hide behind the wide range of severity of lameness to save face. It's disingenuous and pathetic.

What's the difference between a grade 0 and a grade 1 on the AAEP scale?

And very importantly, the insurance company - that would be someone like Antitrust - also knows exactly what was found.

Cool. So even the insurance adjusters are experts in lameness now.

Do they use more than one lameness scale to cloud the issue and suit their purposes, too?
