I would call it RO-M or RO-L, whichever seemed the most likely.  If she was 
"off" in the legs, then that's RO-L.  If she was "off", as in just not 
feeling quite normal, then that would be RO-M.  RO, standing alone, applies 
only to the rider's condition.

There are times when a vet does not see something that you, as a rider, can 
see or feel.  That's when the smart rider pulls his/her horse, even if the 
vet cannot spot anything.  It's been done many times before by astute 
riders.  Better not finish that race than take a chance of losing the horse.

I have pulled my horse twice, after she was examined and the vet said she
was "Fit to Continue", but I didn't feel she was fit (she was just "off" and
not quite herself).  I pulled her, and there was nothing wrong with
me...what's that called?  I call it Rider Option.
