I don’t think RO-L is appropriate here. The horse is still in the
ride, horse is presented to vet, doesn’t make a difference if rider went
to next vet check or turns around to go to last vet check, horse is lame. It’s
a L pull, not RO-L.

In your case, where you, on the trail, determined that your horse was
lame, and you made the decision to withdraw from the competition, walking back
to camp, RO-L would have been quite reasonable. If, on the other hand, the vet
was watching the horses on the trail and saw you, still in the competition, on
a lame horse, then he/she could eliminate you with a L
pull code.
