I'm not sure how many would be comfortable with a sport where
"pre-cautionary" treatment became the norm. It is in the final analysis
the rider's responsibility to ride his horse in such a matter that such
treatment is not neceassary. If that means not going back out on the
trail on a day with high risk climatic conditions so be it. Some horses
deal with heat (and humidity) well some don't. In the final analysis
the welfare of a rider's horse is the responsibility of the rider.
No invasive, such as IV's, treatment is risk free - Heidi Smith
covered this very well in her post.

Truman, you're too emotional.
There is a huge difference between pre-cautionary treatment
and necessary treatment.
