If there's any doubt, whatsoever, pull your horse, on your own, and be damn proud that you did! Sometimes, to not finish, is to, indeed, be a winner.
I have finished some rides, after which I certainly did not feel like a "winner"...that's just me.
I have not finished some rides, after which I felt disappointed for not having "completed" the prescribed course, but simultaneously felt darn good that my horse let me know that I had miscalculated, overestimated, zoned-out, suffered profound DIMR, or some other happenstance that mandated we stop for that day.
It happens to many of us...even the so-called, self-proclaimed "infallible" ones.
