After being reminded by Terre that there is already a rule that covers this, 
I'd be more inclined to give the rider a gentle reminder that this is a rule 
violation--if the horse is still in camp and the rider refuses, then I would 
be a bit less than gentle!  Another issue here (and a few posters have 
already mentioned it) is that it needs to be stated AT THE BRIEFING that 
pulled horses need to be checked, even if the rider pulls for non-horse 
related reasons.
