Obviously the only way to manage this is to have every horse looked at at the

good move for our horse's 
health and safety.


The rides I've been to in Texas do this...at the ride meeting the RM states 
that if the rider decides to pull RO, they still have to have their horse 
looked at by a vet.  I just think that makes good sense...not to "catch" any 
people who might be trying to hide an impending problem with their horse, but 
rather to make sure that the welfare of the horse is placed first.  It just 
makes sense for a vet to take a look at a horse after it comes in off the 
trail, even if the rider has already decided not to go on, for whatever reason.
