Yes,
there is a rule against that:
L6.
Completion requires meeting all of the following criteria: k. Not having been
paced or prompted by an un-entered, withdrawn, or otherwise unauthorized equine,
vehicle or person other than another entrant.
Now, if the ride were on
public land, the unentered person could make an argument that they were simply a
member of the general public out riding [and that argument may or may not fly
with ride management]. However, Eagle Ranch is private land. The entrant[s]
should not have been given completions if DQ'ed or unentered riders rode with
them.

question
As long as I'm asking, I thought there was a rule against
non-participants riding along with people in competition, even in an LD.
I saw several people "pleasure riding" with their friends in
competition.
And the only reason it bothered me at this
ride is because one of those people was on a horse that was disqualified at
the check-in for dangerous behavior. So, the horse was deemed too unruly
to be in competition, but the person took it out on the trails with the rest
of us anyway.
