Being unfamiliar with exit exams except their discussion here on Ridecamp I 
do have a question.  After an exit exam is it required that you leave and 
hit the trail?

I love it when my horse is eating and don't want to interrupt that time.  
Would I be able to go back to my camping spot after an exit exam and let my 
horse continue to eat?  Or, if not, is it OK to extend my hold time before I 
go to the exit exam for the same reason.

cya,
Howard (Biltmore is the Tevis of the East as far as numbers of people and 
quality of riders)

They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't
have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with
a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never
let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail.
