There's more money in small animal work - people will spend anything  
on a pet but farmers are in business. Most vets really want to crack  
the horsie trade as that's serious money. Here anyway.
The 'scrub bulls' I was talking about are the ones smart enough to  
avoid the annual muster (often by small helicopter) in the wide open  
spaces. Some of them stay out there for years and are effectively  
wild - some have never been caught or tagged. They are to be avoided,  
especially if they're standing in the middle of the road at night.
