A ride's refund policy should be stated on the ride flyer.  Some 
rides withhold an "office charge" for riders whose horses don't pass 
the pre-ride check or who otherwise pre-entered but called and 
cancelled.

I personally feel that the rider whose horse doesn't pass the 
pre-ride check has parted with enough cash already just to get to the 
ride in the first place, and choose not to withhold anything from the 
entry.
